Boutin's Gamble Pays Dividend

[user75032]

Burt Boutin must have been looking for a good spot to gamble. He found one when he pushed all in on a flop of {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

with

{A-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

. One opponent called with {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{k-Hearts}

and the race was on. The {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

that hit the turn was a great sweat card; it filled Boutin's flush but also gave his opponent a ten-card re-draw to a full house or quads. None of those ten cards hit the river. Instead it fell {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

to secure the double-up to 65,000 for Boutin.
