Hutchins Catches Huge Bluff for Double-Up
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On a board of 2♥K♦6♠10♠, Oliver Hutchins checked from the small blind to Kevin O'Malley on the button. O'Malley then fired a big over-bet of 9,700 into the pot of 5,500 chips. Hutchins tanked for a bit before confirming the amount and putting in the call.
On the board-completing 10♦ river, Hutchins checked once more. O'Malley slid in 50,000 chips, enough to put Hutchins all-in. Hutchins thought it over for a while but ended up tossing in a calling chip.
O'Malley showed his A♥2♦ for bottom pair, after which Hutchins tabled his K♠J♠ for top pair. O'Malley's bluff was caught, leaving him with a stack of roughly 15 big blinds, while Hutchins doubled up to more than two starting stacks.
