Hunter/Gatherer

Under the gun, Kent Hunter got things going with a raise to 22,000. The betting passed around to Matt Hawker who bumped it up to 65,000. Hunter thought for just a minute before moving all in, and Hawker snap-called, flipping over {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. Hunter shrugged, opening up his {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}.

Continuing the recent trend of game-changing window cards, the first thing off the deck was the {7-Diamonds}, ending up in a board of {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Kent Hunter comes from way behind to claim the pot, doubling his way up to 201,000. Matt Hawker, who has been riding a roller coaster in the last couple levels, has slipped once again to 110,000.
