Judah Quarters Stanton

[user75032]

A big three-way pot contested among Jeffrey Duvall, Mel Judah and Mick "the Hoon" Stanton saw Stanton survive but lose chips when he received only one-quarter of the pot. Judah opened preflop with a raise. Duvall followed with a three-bet that both Stanton and Judah called.

The flop was all babies, {4-Clubs}

. Judah led out and again Duvall raised. Stanton and Judah both called to the {6-Clubs}

turn. Judah finally slowed down with a check to Duvall, who bet. Stanton called, Judah check-raised, Duvall called and then Stanton called all in. Judah got one more bet in on the {j-Clubs}

river, where he showed down {A-Clubs}

for the nut low and a flush. Duvall showed {7-Hearts}

for the second nut low and a seven-high straight, neither of which was good.

Stanton showed down for the main pot, tabling {A-Diamonds}

. He received half of the low half of the pot and is still in the tournament, but only barely. He has 11,000 chips, Duvall has 8,000, and Judah jumped to 71,000.
