The Longest Staredown - Since Returning from Break

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

There hasn't been too much action since the players returned from break. We just had our longest standoff between Sergio De Zen and Ryan Van Sanford. De Zen opened to 40,000, Van Sanford moved all in on the button and the blinds released.

Hutter Over a Third

Barry Hutter raised to 36,000 in the small blind, and Jayaram Kovoor-Chathoth defended his big. Hutter check-called 35,000 on the {j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop and then 65,000 more on the {6-Spades} turn. He checked the {5-Clubs} river and called a final bet of 75,000.

Kovoor-Chathoth could only muster {9-}{8-}, not enough to beat Hutter's {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

Players are heading to break, and with that pot, Hutter has amassed more than a third of the total chips.
