Reading Devastates Opponent’s Chip Stack
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
WSOP bracelet winner John Reading, who was on the button, was involved in a hand with a player in the small blind.
And the action on the river bloated the pot on a board showing 8?2?K?J?7?.
The player in the small blind led out with 10,000, but Reading raised it to 20,500. The player in the small blind, who had 16,200 behind, went in the tank and took a little more than full minute to study the board. He then made the 10,600 call and saw Reading table 10?9? for the nut straight.
Reading scooped the pot, while his opponent was left with just 5,600.
