Hand #207 - Rep Porter

[user40108]

Rep Porter has the button in seat 3 and he raises to 85,000. Nathan Templeton announces a reraise from the small blind. As required, he does indeed push out a stack of 245,000. With action now on Devin Porter, he announces "all in." Rep Porter seems unimpressed. It seems he has a real hand. Instead of carefully studying his opponents like he usually does, he is staring at his chips and the felt. It seems he doesn't so much need a read on his opponents, but on the situation itself. Porter continues to stare at his chips, then over to Templeton's then back to Devin Porter's all the while shuffling a stack of ten yellow chips. Porter finally calls. Templeton folds instantly. Devin's bet is roughly 1,300,000 and he has Rep barely covered. The players show:

Rep Porter: {10-Spades}

Devin Porter: {A-Clubs}

The flop comes {9-Spades}

. The crowd is on it's feet as the turn falls the {5-Clubs}

. The spectators grow even more excited and uneasy. The river card is the {3-Spades}

. Devin Porter misses and his hand is second best. He is crippled with under 100,000 chips. Rep Porter doubles through Devin Porter.

With the elimination of Devin Porter, play has paused for an impromptu 20-minute break so that the yellow (T1,000) chips can be raced off and the gold bracelet can be presented for heads up play.
