With a lot of chips in the pot and the board reading , Tommy Bates put his last 530,000 in the middle and Robert Michener snapped in a call to put Bates at risk.

Bates:
Michener:

Michener out flopped Bates with his smaller pair with a boat with nines full of deuces and Bates was left with two outs on the river.

Bates jumped out of his chair when the came on the river for a bigger boat and he celebrated before stacking up.

“With play like that, it’s no wonder you run poker rooms,” Howard Feingold joked with Bates.
