Utterback of the Pack

About 20,000 was already piled in the middle of the table when the players saw a flop of {K-Clubs} {8-Spades} {10-Spades}. From the big blind, Paul Darden moved all in for his remaining 21,000. His opponent, Mark Utterback, went deep into the tank for several minutes. A player across the felt eventually called the clock, trying to hurry along the decision. As the countdown neared zero, Utterback finally made a hero call with {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}.

It turned out to be not very heroic at all as Darden tabled {K-Hearts} {J-Spades}. The {Q-Clubs} and {2-Hearts} filled out the board to give Darden a courtesy double-up to 43,000. Utterback has fallen to 17,500.
