Hutch Clinton keeps on climbing and is one of the first over 500,000 after winning a sizable pot against Ray Green (pictured).
Green raised out of the lojack to 22,000 and Clinton juiced it up to 70,000 from the small blind. Green called and Clinton bet 40,000 on the Q♠10♣8♥ flop. Green took a moment to call and Clinton bet 100,000 more on the 6♦ turn.
Green used two minutes to think it over, clearly in hell by the spot, and folded to leave himself with 250,000. Clinton tabled A♣Q♦ and picked up the pot.
