Hutter Slips Back to the Field

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

There was a raise to 35,000 from middle position and Barry Hutter three-bet to 105,000 from the button. The blinds folded and his opponent made the call. The flop fell {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and the action checked to Hutter who continued for 90,000. His opponent called and the {q-Spades} paired the board on the turn.

Both players checked and the {2-Hearts} completed the board. Hutter's opponent slid in a bet of 200,000 and Hutter paid him off. He showed {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and Hutter pushed his cards forward face down.

Bullets Hold for Gross in Monster Pot

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We came upon three players all in preflop with Paulo Goncalves and his {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} covering everyone. One player held {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Alexander Gross had the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. The sweat was short as the board ran out {j-Clubs}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

The player with tens had the shortest stack and everyone had put 259,000 in the middle to cover the main pot. Gross collected all of that plus an additional 770,000 from Goncalves.

Minkin Unsure About the Laydown

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After a raise to 35,000 from early position, Kelly Minkin was next to act and made it 100,000 to go. The action folded back around to the initial raiser who four-bet shoved all in for around 650,000.

Minkin went into the tank for a couple of minutes, trying to get a read off her opponent. "I don't think I can fold this," she added but got no response. Moments later, Minkin did find the fold but was still unsure about it. "Show me the bluff," she said with a laugh.
