Rutter Railroaded

Mar 11, '09

There is 1,100 in the pot and Stuart Rutter is looking serious. He has his shades on and is staring straight at the chips in the middle.

The board is showing Q976 and he bets the pot. The lady in seat 6, who also looks as if she means business, is not going to be bullied. She calls. The player on the button folds.

The river brings the 8 and Rutter bet's 2,500. Seat 6 calls and just as quickly Rutter declares, "Straight!" and happily flips over his cards. Hardly any one had a chance to see them as just as he flipped them, he spotted his opponent's holding and mucked. She had J-10 for the higher straight, and Rutter was put back in his box.
