$200 NLH "Isle New Year Kickstart" (Flight 1E): When You're Winning A Pot, Nothing Is Too Small

"Isle New Year Kickstart"
$200 No Limit Hold'em

$100,000 GTD
Level 6 (Blinds 300/500/500)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 93

Michael Weinberg (Delray Beach, FL) has over $26,000 in lifetime tournament earnings, including a $10,500 score in a $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) last April (here at the Isle Poker Room).

Passing Table 2, we'd spot one of the early chip leaders (Michael Weinberg) scooping up a sizable pot, having just knocked out an opponent.  The very next hand, six players went to the flop in a limped pot, including Weinberg (in position).  The action would check around on the 8♠ 7♣ 2 flop, with a player in middle position then wagering 400, after the 6 on the turn (with three players calling, including Weinberg).  Once the K completed the board on the river, action checked around again, with two players announcing they had a six.  Weinberg followed by saying he had a seven, tabling the 7, and winning the "small-ish" sized pot.  Regardless of the size, it helped increase Michael's stack, and puts him atop the leaderboard.

Michael Weinberg - 90,000 (180bb)
