Duthie Scoops Large Pot

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The creator of the European Poker Tour, John Duthie has just won himself a sizeable pot after applying the maximum pressure on his opponent with an all in bet.

On a board reading {3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} Aleksey Tkachenko in the small blind checked and after a minute of deliberation Duthie, seated in the big blind, decided he wanted the 31,000 chips already in the pot and that the best way to get them would be to move all in for the 21,250 he had in front of him.

His decision turned out to be correct as his opponent folded, boosting Duthie's stack to 52,250, putting him atop of the chip counts early on in this tournament
