River Magic For Hutch After Running Kings vs Aces

Toogood32

Level 29 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

A player simply by the name ''Hutch'' is probably starting to think the stars are aligned after their last pot. After raising from the hijack to the tune of 38,000, Dylan ''PokerNpizzA'' Hortin three-bet to 91,000, which ''Hutch'' just called.

On the board, Hortin made it 63,000 and ''Hutch'' jammed his last 300,000, approximately. Hortin snapped him off and it was horror for ''Hutch''.

Dylan ''PokerNpizzA'' Hortin

It was looking bleak after the turn but the two outer fell on the river to double up ''Hutch''. Although Hortin was certainly hurting after that, he still has a healthy stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dylan ''PokerNpizzA'' Hortin	983,000	-618,000
''Hutch''	813,000	813,000
