Huot Takes Out Both Survivors
Both Boston Rob Mariano and Tyson Apostol seemed to be on their way to make deep runs in this event, but a man named Alex Huot put a halt to their aspirations.
"What does it take to get mentioned on the blog?" Huot asked with a smile, before explaining how he took out both Mariano and Apostol.
"It was a bit earlier, in the 300/600 level," Huot started out about how he took Apostol's chips.
After a raise to 2,000 Huot called with pocket nines, and two other players including Aposotol called. The flop brought was jack-high and Huot bet 4,000, only Apostol called.
On the turn another jack popped up and Huot checked to Apostol who moved all in for his last 7,000 with a mere 
. Huot's nine held up and he expanded his stack significantly.
A while later Huot doubled up Mariano with ace-nine versus ace-ten, only to get all the chips back a little while later. Mariano shoved over Huot's raise with ace-deuce and the man from New York City took out the Bostonian with ace-queen.
