Cutler Doesn't Back Down

Joseph Cutler opened up the pot from early position, slipping out a raise to 40,000. Back around to the big blind, Jason Somerville made the call, and it was heads up to the flop.

It came down {2-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, and both players checked. The turn card was the {8-Hearts}, and Somerville checked again. This time, Cutler figured it was time to bet, and he put out 65,000 chips. Somerville, in his typical deliberate style, paused for a moment before making the call.

The last card off was the {3-Diamonds}, and Somerville tapped the table softly once more. Cutler counted down his own stack and shot a long gaze across the table. After a moment, he put out 177,000 more chips, enough to eventually fold Somerville and ship him the pot.
