Hotte-Mckinnon Strikes Against the Chip Leader Early

Niveau 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action picks up on the 2♥ turn for a board of 9♦J♥3♥2♥ and around 300,000 in the pot. Chip leader Scott Wilson checked over to Justin Hotte-Mckinnon in late position who checked back.

The river brought the J♦ to pair the board and this time Wilson bet 240,000. Hotte-Mckinnon thought for a moment and announced "all in," before moving his remaining 655,000 behind into the middle.

After a few moments in the tank, Wilson ultimately decided to make the call and saw the bad news.

Justin Hotte-Mckinnon: A♥10♥
Scott Wilson: Q♠J♠

Mckinnon's flush wiped out Wilson's trips, taking him down a peg in the counts.
