Butler Serves Up River Flush, Ends Block Party
Level 25
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
With 350,000 already in the middle on a flop, Keith Block continued for 105,000. Steven Butler, in the small blind, made a 330,000-chip raise. Block went all in for 1,600,000 total and Butler shrugged his shoulders and made the call.
Keith Block:
Steven Butler:
Block's top pair was about a 53% favorite against Butler's ace-high flush draw, which also had plenty of backdoor straight outs.
While the turn gave Butler more outs on the river, it took away his potential straight outs and made him a 32% underdog.
However, the odds were in his favor as the arrived on the river, shoving a large pot Butler's way and eliminating Block.
