Howard Bombs the River
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nicholas Howard was heads-up on the button against the player in the cutoff on a board of 5♦5♥6♥8♥ with a large pot already brewing.
The cutoff checked to Howard, who bet 42,000. His opponent called.
The A♦ filled the river and it was again checked to Howard, who cut out a bet of 147,000 and placed it into the middle — sending his opponent deep into the tank.
The cutoff eventually opted to lay his hand down and Howard showed A♠5♠ for a full house before dragging the pot.
