Lechner, Hutchison Play a Classic Flip
Level 28
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Richard Kellett raised to 120,000 under the gun and Dean Hutchison called on the button. Martin Lechner then moved all in for 1,330,000 in the big blind and Kellett folded, but Hutchison called to put Lecher at risk and create a pot worth nearly 3,000,000.
Martin Lechner: Q♥Q♣
Dean Hutchison: A♣K♥
Lechner was racing for his tournament life, and his queens stayed in the lead through the 5♠J♣9♠8♦2♦ board to earn him the massive double up.
