Big Hit For the Defending Champ

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Tim Mitchell
Tim Mitchell

A player opened in early position with a raise to 3,200. One player called in middle position and Tim Mitchell called in the cutoff. Daniel Laidlaw also called from the big blind so it was four-ways to a flop.

The flop was {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and action checked to Mitchell who put out a bet of 7,200. Laidlaw then check-raised, making it 18,000 from the big blind. The original raiser and middle position player both folded and it was back on Mitchell who immediately put forward a stack of chips, raising to 122,200. It was enough to put Laidlaw all in and he dropped into the tank. After about 2 minutes, Laidlaw called, putting himself at risk for 96,700 total.

Daniel Laidlaw: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Tim Mitchell: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Mitchell had about half the deck as outs against Laidlaw's hand but the turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river was the {9-Diamonds}, meaning that he would not catch up. Mitchell sent over most of his chips to Laidlaw who doubled to over 200,000 chips.
