EPT Founder Duthie Catches a Bluff
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
The European Poker Tour is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, and John Duthie, who founded the EPT, is currently sitting in the EPT Barcelona field and appears to be off to a good start.
Duthie opened to 300 from the cutoff and was called by Jesus Cortes from the button. Pablo Jiminez called from the small blind and the trio went to the K♣5♣2♦ flop. The action checked to Cortes, who bet 500. Jiminez and Duthie called.
Jiminez and Duthie once again passed the action over to Cortes following the 4♠ turn. He sized up to 2,000, folding out Jiminez while Duthie stuck around.
On the Q♦ river, Duthie check-called a bet of 5,300 and Cortes was caught speeding with his 6♠9♠. Duthie tabled K♥J♥ for top pair and took in the pot.
