John Duthie isn't slowing down, seemingly overbetting in every pot he plays. In the most recent, the board ran out and Duthie was leading out in a battle of the blinds on every street. He fired 550 on the flop, 2,000 on the turn, and then put in a monster overbet of 15,000 on the river. That was well over twice the pot size, and Duthie's big blind opponent finally relented.
"Any smaller and you call," Duthie muttered as he dragged the pot.
