Houghton Takes Three-Way Pot
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Harvey Jackson limped from the hijack, as did Douglas Houghton in the small blind. Mark Smith in the big blind checked.
The flop of Q♥J♣4♥ prompted Jackson to bet 75,000 and was called by Houghton, but Smith folded.
The turn of 9♦ invited Houghton to lead out for 175,000 which forced Jackson to fold and Houghton took the pot.
