Here Comes Middy!

Livello 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Thomas Middleton
Thomas Middleton

In early position, Thomas Middleton -- or "Middy" as he's affectionately known to the Brits -- opened with a standard raise, and Thomas Miller three-bet to 52,000. When it came back to Middy, he reraised it right back to 107,000, and Miller popped it up further to 182,000 total. Six-bet time. Middleton shoved for 486,000, and Miller's snap-call was not good news for Middy's {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}. Miller showed up the {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}, poised to add another half-million chips to his monstrous stack.

But it was not to be. The {2-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} flop was a life saver for Middleton, and his come-from-behind set held up on the {K-Spades} turn and {8-Hearts} river. Suddenly, Middleton is up to 1.01 million chips, and Miller was robbed of an astronomical chip lead. He could have had more than 15% of the chips in play with 29 players left, but he'll have to settle for having just a narrow lead now with his 1.1 million still setting the pace.
