Schutten Closes the Gap

Calum Grant

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Brek Schutten opened to 1,000,000 from the button with 7♦4♦ and Tyler Stafman defended with 6♥5♥.

Both players picked up something on the K♥4♥2♦ flop. Schutten was ahead with his pair, while Stafman had a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw.

Stafman check-raised to 2,500,000 over a bet of 700,000 and was called.

The 4♣ turn improved Schutten to trips. Stafman checked and folded to Schutten's bet of 7,000,000.
