How Fun Indeed

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

We passed by a table and caught Jim Puritz with all of his chips at risk against the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} held by his opponent. Puritz was dominated with his {A-Spades}{10-Spades} and stared stoically at the dealer while awaiting the board cards.

The dealer spread a flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Purtiz was down to three outs if he was to survive. The {9-Hearts} on the turn closed his window even further and now the {10-Hearts} would be no good, as it would make his opponent the nut flush.

When the dealer flipped up the {10-Clubs} on the river, Puritz dropped his poker face and broke into a huge grin. "Woo-hoo, how fun!" he exclaimed as the pot was pushed his way, and with the win Puritz positioned himself to make Day 2 with a stack of around 12,000 chips.
