David Tuthill

On the second round of hand-for-hand, we had two all-ins called at separate tables.

After a flop of Jh9d4d, Michael Stonehill checked from the big blind, Stuart Taylor bet 80,000 and Stonehill check-raised all in for 160,000. Taylor called and they tabled their hands after action was complete at the other tables.

Stonehill: AcJd
Taylor: KdQc

Stonehill was ahead with top pair top kicker but needed to fade a gutshot draw and two overs. The board finished 4s turn and Jc river and Stonehill doubled on the bubble.

Next table over, it was three-ways to a Th6c3c flop. Siddharth Siddharth and Romeo Mendoza checked in the blinds and David Tuthill bet 28,000. Siddharth called and Mendoza check-raised to 80,000.

Tuthill moved all in for 205,000 total, Siddharth folded, and Mendoza called after thinking it through.

Tuthill: AsAd
Mendoza: Jc9c

Tuthill was ahead with the aces against Mendoza’s club draw. His bad news came right on the Qc turn and his aces were cracked for a bubble exit after the 9h river.

The remaining 55 players were in the money and guaranteed at least $3,990.
