Hand #303: Matt Juttelstad Wins! ($268,444)

Matt Juttelstad limps for 80,000, and Gagne checks. The flop comes [5c3s2h], Gagne bets 300,000, and Juttelstad calls.

The turn is the [As], Gagne moves all in, and Juttelstad immediately calls with [6h4c] for a six-high straight. Gagne turns over 10-4 for a five-high straight, but she’s drawing dead to a chop. Gagne needs a six on the river to stay alive.

The river card is the [8s], and Matt Juttelstad wins the pot — and the tournament — with a six-high straight.

Gigi Gagne finishes as the runner-up, earning $158,194.

Matt Juttelstad wins the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open, earning $268,444, a WPT Champions Trophy, and a trophy from the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. His prize money includes a $25,500 seat in the WPT World Championship this May at the Bellagio.
