Gutierrez Beats the Clock and an Opponent
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Jose Fernando Garcia Gutierrez studied long and hard — long enough for the clock to be called on him — before three-betting the pot all-in for 7.65 million chips.
Demarco Howard, who had three times as many chips made the call.
Jose Fernand Garcia Gutierrez: A♣Q♦
Demarco Howard: 8♥8♦
Howard's pair of eights held through the flop of K♥3♦9♥, but Gutierrez let out a loud yelp when the A♠ came on the turn. After the 10♠ landed on the river, Gutierrez' pair of aces were good enough for him to more than double his chips.
