Huxley Over 100K

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Philipp Huxley
Philipp Huxley

Phillip Huxley was around a starting stack or less most of the day including going into dinner break with 29,000. He built up his stack to over 50,000 before recently growing his stack to around 100,000.

Most of Huxley's surge came in the following hand. Huxley opened from under the gun for 3,300 before Stefan Bittger jammed for about 47,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Huxley who made the call.

Stefan Bittger: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Phillip Huxley, {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Huxley was ahead before the flop and kept the lead throughout the hand with the {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades} running out on the board.

After the hand, the dealer counted both players' stacks and Bittger was eliminated after it was deemed Huxley had him covered.
