Can Small-Pot Poker Continue?

Mark Muchnik vs. Jared Davis

The Muchnik and Davis match up has gone rather slow. Both players have been playing conservative and not committing much of their stack to pots. Very few hands have gone to a show down during the first three levels of play.

There was finally a show down on one of the first hands after the break. Muchnik limped from the small blind and Davis checked his big blind. The flop was {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {2-Hearts}. Davis bet 25K and Muchnik called. The river was the {2-Spades}. Davis bet 50K and Muchnik called.

Davis: {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Muchnik: {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

Muchnik took down the pot with trips.

Davis lost the next hand as his stack slipped to 400K. Muchnik increased his stack to 880K.
