One Double Up And The Big Stacks Tangle

Robert Cramer raised to 50,000 and then folded to the all in of the big blind for 176,000. One hand later we had a battle of the blinds with Michael Wilson opening the action from the small blind and then calling the all in of David Smith rather quickly.

Smith:
Wilson:

The flop provided a hit for both players, but neither the turn nor the river improved the hand of Wilson. Smith doubled up for 369,000 chips and Wilson lost almost two third of his stack.

We also saw a big pot between two of our biggest stacks. The board was already complete and Mitchell Lehman bet 130,000 for about half pot, Doc Barry considered his options and then threw in one chip for the call. Lehman's bluff with was caught and Barry won the pot with . "Nice call," his opponent said the rest of the table nodded.
