Hand #91: John Duthie Takes a Monster Lead

Leo Wolpert has the button.

He raises to 150,000 first to act, and Duthie makes the call.

The flop shows up {8-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Duthie taps the felt, and Wolpert continues out with 180,000 more chips. Duthie reaches for calling chips and deliberately adds them to the pot.

Turn: {9-Hearts}. Duthie checks again, and Wolpert fires another bet. He puts out 420,000, and Duthie is already stacking out chips. "I raise," he says. With that, he pushes in a healthy total of 2,420,000.

From the other end of the table, Wolpert announces all-in, and Duthie, with only about 400,000 left behind, makes the call.

Showdown
Duthie: {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Wolpert: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}

Wolpert had the set of kings, but Duthie was drawing live to the flush and straight.

River: {4-Diamonds}. Duthie clapped his hands together with a big, "Yeah!" He makes his flush to double up, taking a commanding lead in the match.

Duthie - 6,730,000
Wolpert - 950,000
