Matt Stout Wins Biggest Pot Of The Tournament

Matt Stout

Its a good thing that we just had a break, because I don't know if the table could have dealt any cards, because it took Matt Stout about 5 minutes to stack his newly earned chips in a pot that has given him the chip lead. Action folded around to Cameron Wiley, who raised it to 18,000. Stout was next to act, and he made it 44,000. It folded back to Wiley, and he decided to re-pop it to 118,000. Stout called, and we already had a pot over 250,000.

The flop came out {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Wiley wasted little time in firing out 200,000. Stout moved all in for about 390,000 total, and while he may not have loved it, there was too much in the pot for Wiley to fold. He made the call, and saw he was in big trouble.

Stout: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Wiley: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The turn was a beautiful card for Stout, coming the {q-Diamonds}. Wiley would need a jack and a jack only to take the pot. The river came the {3-Diamonds}, and Stout scooped the ginormous pot to make him the big chip leader as we are down to our final 6 tables.
