Howell Wins Monster Pot Before Dinner Break
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 0 ante
A short-stacked player moved all in preflop in early position for 16,100 and was called by three other players, including Chance Howell in the small blind.
The flop came 5♣6♣4♠ and Howell checked. The under-the-gun player checked as well and the player on the button bet 6,000.
Howell then made it 16,000 to go, prompting the under-the-gun player to fold. The button then came over the top with an all-in bet of about 68,000 to put himself at risk. Howell thought for a moment and made the call.
Early position: A♠9♠ 
Button: K♣10♣
Chance Howell: 7♦7♣
The early position player pulled ahead on the A♥ turn, pairing his ace. The river landed the 3♦, giving Howell a straight to scoop both the main pot and the side pot.
