Egan's Aggression Pays Off
Level 22
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Michael Egan opened to 300,000 from under the gun with A♣3♣ and was called by Josh Hutchins in the small blind holding K♥J♥ and Kei Tanaka in the big blind with 9♦6♦ for a three-way pot.
Action checked to Egan, who continued for 350,000 on the K♣4♣10♥ flop. Hutchins called and Tanaka got out of the way.
Hutchins checked again and Egan barreled for 1,100,000 on the Q♠ turn. Hutchins tanked a bit with top pair and a straight draw before eventually opting to lay it down — awarding the pot to Egan with just ace-high.
