Another Big Pot for Kottler

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With {7-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} on the board, Jeremy Kottler bet 525,000, about a pot-sized bet, from the small blind. Charlie Coultas, in the big blind, went into the tank.

Coultas eventually called, but mucked when Kottler showed {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. The pot puts Kottler at over six million chips.

Jeremy Kottler: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Joe Brindle: {k-Spades}{7-Spades}

Mitch Garshofsky
Mitch Garshofsky

Joe Brindle opened to 125,000 from the button, and Mitch Garshofsky made the call in the big blind.

Garshofsky checked the {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Spades} flop, Brindle bet 100,000, Garshofsky check-raised all in for 870,000, and Brindle called.

Mitch Garshofsky: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Joe Brindle: {9-Spades}{3-Spades}

Garshofsky's top pair was ahead at the time, but Brindle had plenty of outs with a flush draw and middle pair. One of those outs came in on the river, as after a {8-Clubs} turn, the {3-Hearts} on fifth street brought in two pair for Brindle.
