Micon Measures the Situation

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Bryan Micon and his tablemates are trying to estimate an over/under for the number of entrants we'll ultimately see in this one. The big board is currently showing that 848 players have ponied up the $1,500 to play. It sounds like the consensus as Micon's table is over 900 will be showing for sure, perhaps even pushing 1,000.

As they talked, a hand arose in which a player limped from the cutoff and both blinds called, with Micon in the BB. The flop came three low hearts -- {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} -- and it checked to the cutoff who bet 100. Only Micon called. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, bringing a bet of 100 from Micon. His opponent raised the pot, and after some thought Micon let it go. His opponent showed his hand -- {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} -- as he scooped the small pot.

Micon has close to 2,000 in play, plus two 1,500 add-on chips behind as we approach the end of Level 2.
