Russell Scores Early Knockout
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
Action was picked up after the cutoff had moved all in for 7,700. Vincent Russell, from under the gun, raised to isolate, putting a tall stack of pink 5,000 chips and yellow 1,000 chips into the middle, for a raise of more than a starting stack. He successfully isolated the cutoff, as the rest of the table folded, and it was time for showdown.
Cutoff: 
Vincent Russell: 
Russell had his opponent dominated, but the 
flop gave his opponent an open ended straight draw. The 
turn gave the opponent even more outs. Any queen, seven, eight, or nine would keep the cutoff alive. Instead, the 
river secured the pot for Russell, who has quickly built one of the largest stacks in the field.
