Moving On Up

Another player who seems to have excelled in recent levels is PokerStars' John Duthie. Every time I trundle over to his table, he seems to be involved in the pot somehow, and most frequently locking horns with Kristian Svensson.

My latest trip was no exception, Duthie betting 4,000 onto a {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} board and giving his foe a menacing look that my teachers used to give me if I chatted during class. Nevertheless, it worked (if that was the desired effect), and Svensson released his hand.

Whilst Duthie jumps to 25,250, Svensson is struggling with 9,625.
