Bono Stronger Than Horecki
First hand back and microstacked Kevin MacPhee folded under the gun, despite big blind Manuel Bevand not having made it back in time for the start and therefore having his cards mucked. "I'm such a nit," he said.
To MacPhee's left, Marcin Horecki limped, and it then folded around to Emilliano Bono in the small blind who made it 165,000 to go. Horecki asked for a count on Bono (Bono pleasingly said, "One meeelion," as he counted them up - it was around 1.1 million back in total) and then flat-called.
Both players checked the flop and Bono bet out 100,000 on the turn. Horecki called it, and called the additional 100,000 that Bono bet out on the river as well, but then mucked as Bono turned over for top two pair.
"Yes!" cried the Italian, "I strong-a!"
Horecki's at 3.35 million, Bono at 1.6 million.
