Huxley In Charge

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Philipp Huxley
Philipp Huxley

Philipp Huxley is the boss of the table.

The board was showing {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and there was around 700,000 chips in the middle when André Marques bet 425,000 chips from the Small Blind.

"I thought we were friends" joked Huxley when Marques called the time after 60 seconds. The Floor confirmed it was too fast and let Philipp think a little more.

After mere seconds, Huxley found the call. "I'm your friend. Queen high !" answered Marques before flashing {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Huxley revealed his King high and dragged the pot. He had now almost half of the chips in play.
