Devilfish Fills Up

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

We just picked up a hand involving Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott (cutoff) and a lone opponent (button). The flop had come {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Ulliott's opponent was betting 2,300. Ulliott called the bet, and both watched the turn come {9-Clubs}, pairing the board. The player in the cutoff pushed out 2,000 this time, and Ulliott again made the call.

The river was the {Q-Spades}. Ulliott's opponent bet 3,000, and the Devilfish responded by setting out a raise to 20,000, plenty enough to cover his opponent who only had about 5,000 behind. He made the call, showing {K-}{Q-} for two pair, but was dead in the water against Devilfish's {K-Spades}{9-Spades} -- a full house.

Another player hits the rail, as Ulliott chips up to 39,000.
