Butler Gets Value; Felarca Gets Short
Level 40
: 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Timothy Thorp raised to 6,000,000 on the button and Albert Felarca called from the small blind, as did Joseph Butler (IN) in the big.
Three ways, they saw the 10♦9♦4♥ hit the felt. All players tapped the table, bringing the 2♣. Felarca led for 7,000,000 and only Butler called.
The river completed with the A♦ and Felarca slowed down with a check before facing a bet of 12,000,000 from Butler. Felarca didn't seem thrilled but made the call. Butler tabled A♠9♠ for top two and Felarca mucked A♣7♣ face up, awarding Butler a substantial boon.
