Porter Plummets

Rep Porter has just taken a couple of hits to slip back to around 20,000 in chips.

In the first hand he doubled up a short-stacked opponent holding {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} against a dominating {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. The board landed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Porter was back to around 27,000.

A few minutes later, Porter then check-called a 3,000 bet on the turn, before both he and Nick Ceci checked the river on a board of {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Ceci showed {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} which was good to collect the pot.
