Butcher Carves a Chunk Out of Opponent's Stack

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
William Butcher
William Butcher

An early position player raised to 60,000 and got called by the cutoff and William Butcher in the big blind leading to a 610A flop.

The early position player continued with a bet of 85,000 with both the cutoff and Butcher calling to see the Q turn.

Both Butcher and the early position player checked over to the cutoff who tossed out a bet of 375,000. Butcher was the only player who called, sending both remaining players to the 7 river.

Butcher led for the first time of the hand and did so in a big way by jamming into his opponent who entered the tank.

With well over 1,500,000 in the pot, the late position player contemplated his action for a few minutes before ultimately folding the AxQx face up. Butcher slid his cards into the muck face down and collected a massive pot.

Arash Sarraf raised to 90,000 from early position and received a call from a late position player. Action then folded to the big blind who jammed for 245,000.

Sarraf paused briefly before jamming himself which got a fold from the late position player and sent him and the at risk player to a runout.

Big Blind: 22
Arash Sarraf: 77

Sarraf was way ahead of his all in opponent and the completed board of 638Q5 offered nothing to change that, leaving his opponent headed to the payout desk while Sarraf collected the pot.

You Can't Double Unless You Putz Yourself at Risk

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A player in late position raised to 90,000 and got calls from both the cutoff and the small blind. Andreas Putz three-bet jammed over all the callers for 495,000.

Both the original raiser and the cutoff folded, but the small blind quickly called, setting up a runout with Putz at risk.

Andreas Putz: KQ
Small Blind: QJ

The board ran out a very safe 56489 for Putz, securing him more than a double up and leaving the small blind player on a short stack.
