Houghton Keeps Winning Pots
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Laurence Houghton is on a real heater at the moment and is now up to 171,000 chips to keep him near the very top of the leaderboard.
In a hand that has just gone down, the button open raised to 2,200 and only Houghton, in the big blind, made the call. Both players checked on the flop but when the fell on the turn, completing a possible flush, Houghton came out betting to the tune of 3,600. His opponent quickly called, allowing the dealer to put the out on the river. Houghton quickly bet 9,300, enough to force a fold and send Houghton's chip count to 171,000.
