Rutter Makes the Right Call
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 15,000 ante
Philip Sternheimer and Stuart Rutter were heads-up after the draw with a sizable pot already in the middle.
Sternheimer shoved fro the hijack, which was enough to put Rutter all in for his last 75,000 in the cutoff.
Rutter went deep into the tank and the clock was eventually called.
Rutter stuck in a call with a few seconds to go and Sternheimer showed 9x9x6x4x2x for a pair of nines. Rutter revealed 8x7x5x2x2x for a winning pair of deuces and was awarded the double up.
"Nice hand," Sternheimer offered as Rutter collected the pot.
At another table, Quan Zhou was eliminated.
