Duthie Has a Sweat

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

John Duthie raised to 27,000 to open the pot, and Elio Fox three-bet to 60,000 on the button. When it came back to Duthie, he considered for about a minute, then shoved in for about 350,000. Fox snap-called.

Showdown
Duthie: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Fox: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

Some would tell you that Duthie was a favorite with his two flush draws, but it was actually Fox with a very slight edge. That edge grew considerably as the {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} flop was a huge sweat for Duthie. He shot out of his chair and leaned over the table to sweat the final two cards. As the turn {A-Diamonds} landed, he took one step away from the table, perhaps expecting the worse on the final card.

But the river was the safe {10-Clubs}, and the two men will chop up the blinds and antes.
