Utley Bricks, Bubbles

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
John Utley - 11th Place
John Utley - 11th Place

Dale Sudduth checked a {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop, and John Utley bet 30,000. Sudduth raised to 60,000, and Utley made the call. On the {4-Clubs} turn, Sudduth bet 100,000, and Utley counted out his stack. It was about 105,000. Utley thought for a couple of minutes, then slid his stack forward slapping {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} onto the table for a pair and a flush draw before Sudduth could even call and turn his {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Utley needed a heart, a seven, or an eight, but the river was a {6-Diamonds}.

Utley Doubles Through Espenlaub

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Drake Espenlaub limped in from middle position, and John Utley jammed it in for 115,000 in the big blind.

"I'll gamble," Espenlaub said, tossing {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} into the middle.

It was indeed a race, as Utley had {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop brought more danger for Espenlaub, since a {6-} would kill his pair. The {j-Diamonds} gave Utley even more outs with two draws, and he hit the {3-Diamonds} on the river for a flush.
