Hand #3: Leo Wolpert

Leo Wolpert has the button.

He makes the same raise to 90,000 as the last time. Duthie stares him down for just a minute before making the call.

The flop comes down {Q-Spades} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds}. Duthie checks, as does Wolpert.

The turn brings the {K-Spades}. Duthie checks again, and Wolpert takes the opportunity to bet 120,000. Duthie calls quickly.

The last card off is the {6-Hearts}. Duthie checks, and Wolpert puts out a healthy bet of 365,000. Duthie caps his cards and stares across the table with his hand under his chin. He stacks out the calling chips and flicks them into the pot.

"King-nine," says Wolpert, turning over {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. Duthie nods in acknowledgement, and the pot goes to Wolpert.
