DeMichele Finds a King In The Fogg

A player raised under the gun to 5,500, and Marc Foggin reraised all in for around 45,000 in the cutoff. Action folded around to Mike DeMichele in the big blind, who by his expressions clearly had a tough decision. DeMichele stacked up the chips for the call and saw that it represented over half his stack. Michele grabbed the chips as if he was going to slide them forward, but simply kept hold of them to see if perhaps he could get a reaction from the player under the gun. After about two minutes of posturing, DeMichele slid the stack forward for the call. The under the gun player folded his hand fairly quickly, and the players flipped up their cards.

Foggin: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
DeMichele: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The flop provided no help for DeMichele, coming {2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs}. His chances turned bleaker when the {j-Diamonds} hit the turn. However, he spiked the {k-Hearts} on the river to score the knockout and boost his chip stack to over 100,000.
