Cloutier Clipped

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

With about 7,500 in the pot and the board reading {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, TJ Cloutier called a bet of 4,700 from an opponent.

The {Q-Clubs} hit the turn and both players checked, landing the {10-Spades} on the river. After about 30 seconds, his opponent fired 8,000.

"Can't give this up," said Cloutier as he threw in the chips to call. Cloutier was disappointed to see his opponent turn over {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for trips, good enough to take down the pot.

Cloutier dropped to about 45,000.

Glover With a Fadeaway

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Lyle Glover and an opponent got all the biscuits in the middle with the board reading {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Glover was ahead with {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a set of fours and his opponent was drawing with {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Glover couldn't look as the river fell, but the {3-Diamonds} was harmless and he was shipped a massive pot worth over 150,000 chips.

Cloutier Chips Up

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A player in middle position called, but TJ Cloutier was having none of that. He made it 4,000 to go from the cutoff and action back to the limper.

He called, landing a {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. It was checked to Cloutier and after eyeing his opponent's stack, Cloutier bet 15,000. His opponent thought for a few moments before giving it up.

With that pot, Cloutier upped his stack to about 63,000.
