Whittington Sends One Home
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
With a substantial pot already brewing and the board reading 
, Blake Whittington bet 120,000 from the big blind into his lone opponent, Stephen Van Zutphen, who was on the button. Van Zutphen called.
The 
fell on the river and Whittington moved what looked like 115,000 into the middle. Van Zutphen only had about 60,000 remaining and he called after a bit of time in the tank. Whittington tabled 
for a nine-high straight and it was good enough to win the pot.
