Whittle Building Steadily

Dominic Clementson

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of 2♦7♦9♦, Jeff Whittle bet and got a single caller. A 5♥ on the turn was checked by both players. Whittle bet 10,000 when the river came 10x and was called again. Whittle showed 8♦4♦ for a flopped flush and his opponent flashed A♣K♦ before throwing them in the muck.

"The Legend!", shouted Jamie Gold, getting laughs from the whole table — after Whittle had correctly called him down earlier with Jack high, not once but twice.
