Miholich Scoops A Massive Three-Way All In

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player under the gun raised to 8,000 and was called by Kyle Miholich in the cutoff and the player in the big blind leading to a A♠9♥2♥ flop.

Both the big blind and the player under the gun checked to Miholich who tossed out a bet of 12,000. The big blind check-jammed for around 90,000 and was quickly followed by the under-the-gun player going all in for around 115,000.

Miholich snap-called and sent all three to a runout with both of his opponents at risk.

Big Blind: A♣J♦
Under The Gun: A♥Q♥
Kyle Miholich: 9♣9♠

The turn card came the 2♠ and removed all flush out possibilities, leaving Miholich's opponents hoping to hit the last ace in the deck to chop the pot.

When the river came the 7♦, Miholich left his opponents looking for the exit and secured a missive triple up to rocket up the chip counts.

Miholich is playing this tournament with a charitable backdrop as half of anything he wins will go to a family he is close with whose son paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting the freedoms that we all enjoy everyday. And that is exactly what this event is all about.
