Garrett Utt: Bubble Boy

Garrett Utt
Garrett Utt

We didn't catch the hand that put us into the money, but Heinz Pius, the player who scored the knockout, was kind enough to give us the play by play. Utt raised in middle position, and Pius called in the big blind. The flop came out {a-}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}, and Pius checked. Utt bet 3,500, and Pius raised to 9,500. Utt called, and the turn came a {3-}. At that point the two players got the moeny all in, with Pius having Utt easily covered.

Utt: {5-Spades}{4-Spades}
Pius: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Pius would need a spade on the river to score the knockout, and he got just that, as it came the {3-Spades}. Utt was sent to the rail short of the money, and Pius is now sitting on a monster stack of around 200,000
