Here Comes Middy!
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 . Miller showed up the , poised to add another half-million chips to his monstrous stack.
But it was not to be. The flop was a life saver for Middleton, and his come-from-behind set held up on the turn and 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.
