Scott Tuttle With the Hustle At the Beer Table
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Scott Tuttle is sitting pretty with a stack of just over 100,000. He’s at a fun action table where one of the other players has been generously buying rounds of beers.
Tuttle gave PokerNews a brief word between hands on how he got his chips.
“People going all in when they shouldn’t mostly. Ace-king when I had nines and made a good call. It’s a shove-fest.”
