In round two of Outhred versus Michelle, Alex Outhred opened the action, this time with a raise to 35,000 from early position. The action folded to Tiffany Michelle on the button, who made it 110,000 to go. Outhred made the call.

They took a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Outhred led out with a bet of 150,000. Michelle then raised it up to 600,000 before Outhred moved all in. Michelle made the call.

Michelle: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Outhred: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Michelle held pocket rockets but Outhred had spiked a set on the flop with his pocket fives. However, the turn changed everything when Michelle found an ace from space in the {A-Hearts} to give her a bigger set. The river was the {K-Hearts} and Michelle finds a huge double-up to move up to 1.45 million, leaving Outhred dreaming of the tournament chip lead with about 950,000.
