Guth is Building

John Guth began the day with just 7,800 chips, but has built to over 40,000. He just sent Peter Knutson to the rail after Knutson shoved under the gun for 4,400. Guth was in the cutoff seat and reraised to 16,800 to get some isolation. Everyone else left to act folded and it was Guth versus Knutson heads up.

Guth held the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs} against the {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for Knutson who was at risk.

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Guth was able to scoop the pot and eliminate Knutson to move to about 42,000 in chips.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Guth, he owns one bracelet and it came from a format of this game back in 2007 in the $5,000 World Championship Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better. Guth scored $363,216 for that win. Looking at his tournament resume, something really stands out: all ten of his cashes are in Omaha and nothing else. That's right, Guth has amassed nearly $400,000 in career winnings just from Omaha tournaments. Although he came into the day on the short stack, Guth has used his experience to build up and is slowly becoming a big threat to the rest of the field. If he can climb to the top of the leaderboard, people really better start looking out.
