Tough Split for Mitchell
A pretty big pot ended up being chopped by James Mitchell and Thomas Bichon (just shy of 200k) but Mitchell looked a tad disappointed at the way the river rolled...
It started with a preflop raise to 7,500 from Nicolas Levi under the gun, called by James Mitchell and Thomas Bichon, and the big blind Rob Akery. Only Mitchell (the bettor - 14,500) and button Bichon survived the flop, however.
The turn brought the and a check from Mitchell. A long pause from Bichon, who finally brought out and bet 26,000. Mitchell called without much hesitation his end. On the river, Mitchell check-called another bet, of 55k, and showed down the same full house with his as Bichon had caught on the river with his , which could have been in a world of difficulty in other circumstances.
