Debbie Millican Delivers a Dagger With Set of Sixes On the Turn

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We passed by a table and found Debbie Millican all-in for her last 83,500 chips. The board read {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and her opponent studied both the cards and Millican for more than three minutes. He eventually apologized to the table for the delay, saying "I'm sorry guys, I have a real tough decision here."

After thinking things through, the man decided to make the call and put his tournament life at risk. He showed down the {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for top pair, top kicker. When he saw Millican's {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} he discovered that his read was dead on and he had made a tremendous call.

The dealer burned and turned, dropping the {6-Spades} on the table and delivering a dagger to the man's hopes. Millican had spiked her two-outer and now the man was drawing dead. The {A-Diamonds} on the river only served to rub salt in his wounds, and his top two-pair were rendered useless by Millican's set of sixes.

She now sits with over 150,000 chips, good for a little under the average with only 61 players remaining.
