Houck Doubles in Dramatic Fashion
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Tyson Warren limped in early position, Brian Mahler raised to 125,000 in middle position, and Clint Houck three-bet jammed for 585,000 in the small blind to put himself at risk. Only Mahler called.
Clint Houck: A♣J♣
Brian Mahler: A♥K♠
The flop came 10♦2♠5♣ with Mahler's ace-king still in the lead. Houck picked up a flush draw on the 9♣ turn, and got there when the 10♣ rolled off on the river.
