Match 3 - Hand #21: Split Pot

Leo Wolpert has the button.

No walk this time. Wolpert is back to the 90,000-chip raise. John Duthie makes the call.

The flop shows up {2-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {7-Spades}, and both players check.

The turn is the {9-Diamonds}. Check-check. The river is the {K-Hearts}, and they both check again.

Wolpert tables {A-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}, and Duthie shows {A-Clubs} {5-Spades} to chop it up.

Match 3 - Hand #23: John Duthie

Leo Wolpert has the button.

He raises to 90,000, and Duthie puts in the call.

The flop brings {4-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts}. Duthie leads out this time, flicking 150,000 chips at the pot. Wolpert peeks again at his two cards before making the call.

Fourth street is the {7-Clubs}. Duthie grabs chips again and fires a second bullet with 250,000 more. One more check of the hole cards for Wolpert before he cuts out a raise and makes it 725,000 straight. Now it's Duthie who needs to stare back at his own hole cards. After doing so, he would take a long, dry pause while deciding on his next action. Wolpert got stared up and down, but Duthie eventually let it go. Wolpert has now taken a pretty sizable lead in this deciding match.

Duthie - 2,415,000
Wolpert - 5,265,000

Leo Wolpert has the button.

He raises to 90,000, back on the horse. Duthie calls.

The flop shows up {5-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}, and they both check.

Fourth street is the {8-Diamonds}, and Duthie passes again. Wolpert is betting though, scattering out 120,000 which his opponent calls.

River: {8-Clubs}. Duthie checks, and Wolpert checks behind this time. "Straight," says Duthie, turning over {3-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. Wolpert's cards go back into the muck.
