Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship (Freeze-Out)
Level 20: 8,000/16,000/2,000 Ante
With the final board showing on the river, Michel Bittan moved all in from middle position for 195,000, and Joseph Cheong tanked for a while before he called.
Bittan said something along the lines of, “Should I go with the straight, or the flush?” as he turned over for an ace-high flush (and a meaningless ace-high straight). Cheong mucked, but since it was an all-in situation, the dealer flipped over his cards to reveal for two pair, kings and sixes.
Michel Bittan – 850,000 (53 bb)
Joseph Cheong – 645,000 (40 bb)
With 51 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 534,000 (33 big blinds).
