Level 15:  10,000/15,000 with a 15,000 ante
Players Remaining:  23 of 132

Barry Hutter raised from the hijack to 30,000, the player in the cutoff reraised to 75,000, and Hutter called.

The flop came 7h4s3s, Hutter checked, the cutoff bet 100,000, and Hutter thought for a while before he called.

The turn card was the Jd, Hutter checked, the cutoff moved all in for about 280,000, and Hutter called with 3h3c for a set of threes.

The cutoff turned over QsQc, and needed to catch a queen on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 5s, and Hutter won the pot with his set of threes to eliminate his opponent in 24th place.

Barry Hutter  –  1,025,000  (68 bb)
