Art Mirrow Survives

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Art Mirrow only had 300 left after being in the big blind ate up most of his stack, but amazingly he managed to triple up against two opponents.

His two opponents checked down a board of {J-Diamonds}

and Andrew Micali could only show {9-Hearts}

for a pair of nines which was not enough to better Mirrow's {10-Diamonds}

as Mirrow triples up to 4,700 chips!
