John Utley

John Utley and David DiBernardi had two of the biggest stacks remaining and they went to battle against one another. In a three-way pot with the board reading 9d7d7s, the big blind player bet 250,000 and DiBerandi raised to 625,000. John Ultey called from the small blind after his check and the big blind released.

The turn came 2d and Utley checked once again. DiBernardi bet 750,000 and Utley moved all in for 2,925,000. After confirming the count, DiBernardi called and his nut flush Ad5d was ahead of Utley’s 8d6d.

Utley had one out, the Td for a straight flush, but he sent the big pot to DiBernardi after the 9s river. DiBernardi moved up to 8,130,000 (of 24.1 million in play) while Utley had to settle for $5,881.
