Horwitz Doubles Up

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Antoine Saout opened to 1,100 from under the gun and was called by Brad Horwitz in middle position as well as player in late position. Simon Wiciak then three-bet to 6,300 out of the small blind, which convinced Saout to release his holding. Horwitz called, leaving himself just 4,000 behind, while the late position player folded to generate heads-up action heading to the flop.

Horwitz promptly tossed his remaining chips into the middle following the flop and received a quick call.

Brad Horwitz:
Simon Wiciak:

Horwitz was ahead, although he would have to dodge his opponent's two over cards as well as a gutshot to broadway. The turn removed Wiciak's straights outs with the river completing a safe runout for Horwitz.
