John Duthie keeps adding chips to his stack. Just now he raised to 450 from under the gun and got two callers. On the flop the action got checked to him and he won the pot with a continuation bet of 625.
Dave Ulliot’s tournament has come to an end. The table described in graphic detail how had moved all in from early position with and found one caller holding . Another player moved in over the top holding and the caller put the rest of his chips in.
