Hand #37: John Duthie

There was a bit of confusion before the hand. Duthie needed change, and the dealer exhanged a big stack of chips from Wolpert. Both Duthie and the floor person noticed something odd, and the staff member walked over to the table. Duthie was pretty sure he shorted Wolpert 300,000 in the exchange. Honesty prevailed, and the upright Duthie gave Wolpert the extra pink chips.

Leo Wolpert has the button. He raises to 120,000, and Duthie calls.

The flop comes {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {8-Spades}. Duthie fires out into the pot with 110,000, and he takes it down.
