Mrake? Went From Zero to Hero
Michal Mrake? just went from one of the short stacks to chip leader in just two hands.
Hand 1: Raul Cuc opened up for 925,000 with pocket fives and got a call from the big blind from Mrake? with pocket eights. Mrake? checked the 
flop before Cuc bet 3.5 million in chips, which more than covered the 3.1 million Mrake? had behind. Mrake? snap called and his hand held after the 
came on the turn and 
finished the board on the river.
Hand 2: On the very next hand Sonay Kehya opened to 900,000 from late position with pocket nines before Mrake? jammed for 8.6 million with king-queen. Kehya thought for less than a minute before making the call. A king appeared on the flop and that was all Mrake? needed to win the hand to move up to an even 18 million chips.
