It's Aussie Day, But Kiwi G's Spoiling The Party!

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Kiwi G chips up big time!
Kiwi G chips up big time!

New Zealand poker icon Graeme "Kiwi G" Putt is up to more than 40,000 in chips after a monster pot played out moments before the first break.

Sammy Youssef raised to 325 from middle position and the player in the cutoff called, as did Putt from the button before the player in the small blind raised the pot, making it 2,125 to go. All the others called, then the action checked around to Putt on the flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.

Putt potted, the small blind check-repotted and Youssef folded before the cutoff called all-in. Putt also called and the cards were tabled:

Small blind: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} (eight-high straight)
Putt: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} (10-high straight, gutshot straight flush draw)
Cutoff: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} (nut flush draw)

Putt's straight held as the turn and river ran out {5-Hearts}, {7-Clubs}, leaving the small blind with just a handful of chips (no rebuy cards left). The cutoff has now cashed in both his cards.
