With 17 players remaining we get an open from Michael Peluso on the button to 450k when big blind was 200k.
Small blind 3bets to 1.3MM and the big blind puts in a 4bet to 3.4MM swinging action back onto our button who then jams 5.75MM.
Big blind snap calls turning over 9- 10 suited against button Michael’s pocket Jacks.
Here’s the flop: 9-10-Q
Big blind now in the lead. Turn insignificant card, but the river comes “Q” giving a better two pair to Michael who takes the pot.
Michael now has a healthy stack of around 13MM, sling shotting him above the average stack of about 10 MM.
