TJ Loses a Big Pot

TJ Cloutier became involved in a large pot early here in Level 1. With a pot close to 2,000, and the board showing {3-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}, TJ puts out a bet of 600. His opponent, Lee Wilson of Houston, TX, makes a minimum raise to 1,200. TJ quickly re-raises the action to 3,100, and Wilson makes the call.

The turn card is the {6-Spades}, and Cloutier makes it 4,000 to go. Wilson counts out his stack -- he has about 6,600 left -- and after a moment, makes the call.

The river shows the {4-Diamonds}, and both players check. Wilson is the first to flip his cards, {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}, and Cloutier, looking frustrated, quietly passes his cards to the dealer. After the hand, Cloutier is down to less than 3,000, while Wilson increases his chip count to about 18,000.
