Michael Russell's Small Blind Special

A middle position player limped in, Michael Russell called from the small blind and the big blind checked. The flop was {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Russell led out for 8,000, the big blind folded, the MP limper moved all in for 21,000 and Russell called. The middle position player showed {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for top pair top kicker, but Russell had the best of it with {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for two pair. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, the river was the {K-Clubs} and Russell dragged the pot, courtesy of a "small blind special."

After the hand, Russell's stack was up to just under 70,000.
