Big Stacks Tango

[user38449]

John Duthie

In what was a battle of big stacks, Harrison Gimbel just took about 400,000 worth of chips from fellow top dawg John Duthie.

Duthie opened the pot with a raise to 55,000 from the cutoff and Gimbel three-bet to 160,000 from the button. Duthie made the call and the two went heads-up to an {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

flop.

Duthie then led out with a 230,000 bet and Gimbel made the call sending the action to the turn -- {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

-- where both players checked.

5th Street delivered the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

and Duthie check-folded to a 600,000 river bet from Gimbel, surrendering the hand.

Chip counts after the hand were as follows:

Duthie: 2.2 million
Gimbel 2.9 million
