Sumner Shoots to the Top
On a heads-up board of 
, a massive pot was building between Jack Sumner and Ronald Slucker. It was Sumner's turn to act, and he pushed the rest of his stack of 420,000 into the pot of 600,000. Slucker then went deep into the tank to consider his options.
"I've got like 16 outs," he said after a minute or so of deliberation, alluding to the fact that he had the ace of spades in his hand.
"Ok, I call," Slucker said as he set out the chips and the card were then tabled, with Sumber at risk.
Jack Sumner: 
Ronald Slucker: 
Sumner was ahead with his pair of tens, but still needed to fade any spade that would give Slucker the win or a deuce for a chop.
Fortunately for him, the river came a brick 
and Sumner let out a huge sigh of relief as he was pushed the massive pot. Sumner started the day with only 185,000 and has now rocketed all the way up to 1,550,000.
