Porter Avoids Disaster

Shamus

Devin Porter managed not to lose all of his chips in a hand versus David "The Maven" Chicotsky in which Porter had pocket jacks, Chicotsky had pocket queens, and the board ended up coming out ten-high.

Some preflop action had built a pot of about 10,000. On the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

flop, Porter check-called Chicotsky's bet of 4,200. Both checked the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

on the turn. Then Porter check-called a bet of 6,500 after the river brought the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

.

Chicotsky is up to 125,000. Porter still has 28,000.
