Porter's Wild Ride

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Danny Bavongkhoun open-shoved for his last 11,600 in middle position, and James Porter called in the cutoff.

Bavongkhoun: {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Porter: {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} flop changed very little, but the {7-Clubs} slammed on the turn, giving Bavongkhoun the lead. The {4-Diamonds} completed the board, and Bavongkhoun doubled. Porter was left with just 47,000 chips.

A few hands later, John Courtney opened to 8,000 in middle position. Porter three-bet to 19,000, leaving just 15,000 or so behind, and Courtney tank-called. The flop came {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Clubs}, and Courtney led out for 4,000. Porter moved all in for 9,000 more, and Courtney snap-folded.
