Butcher Carves a Chunk Out of Opponent's Stack
An early position player raised to 60,000 and got called by the cutoff and William Butcher in the big blind leading to a 6♠10♣A♠ flop.
The early position player continued with a bet of 85,000 with both the cutoff and Butcher calling to see the Q♦ turn.
Both Butcher and the early position player checked over to the cutoff who tossed out a bet of 375,000. Butcher was the only player who called, sending both remaining players to the 7♠ river.
Butcher led for the first time of the hand and did so in a big way by jamming into his opponent who entered the tank.
With well over 1,500,000 in the pot, the late position player contemplated his action for a few minutes before ultimately folding the AxQx face up. Butcher slid his cards into the muck face down and collected a massive pot.
