Ector Bites Into Hunt; Roussy-Majeau Left Short

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Matthew Hunt raised from the cutoff and Benjamin Ector called on the button to see a flop heads-up.

Hunt bet 375,000 on the 3?10?10? flop and Ector called. Hunt sized up to 850,000 on the J? turn and Ector again called.

The Q? completed the board and Hunt sized back down to 475,000 as Ector quickly called. Hunt tabled Q?9? for a rivered pair of queens, which was no good against the trips of Ector with A?10?.

"You are running too hot to hit the river. That wouldn't have been fair," commented Nick Palma.

Elsewhere, Samuel Roussy-Majeau was left short as he doubled Rene Lazaro, who rivered Broadway to beat the flopped two pair of his opponent.
