Alex Outhred on Day 4

Alex Outhred is off to a nice start today after taking down a few early pots – the latest against PokerNews’ own Tiffany Michelle.

Michelle had raised under the gun, making it 37,000 to go, with Outhred making the call in the hijack position. They saw a flop of {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

and Michelle fired out 40,000. Outhred made the call. The turn was the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

and both players checked.

The river was the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

and Michelle check-called the 50,000-chip bet from Outhred, who flipped over {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

, which was good as Michelle mucked her cards.

Outhred jumps to 1.65 million while Michelle is back to about 800,000.
