Stiglets Sticks It In

Eric Stiglets has been lamenting his run of raggy cards today, and he has found himself being chipped down steadily as play has progressed. It's been evident from the look on his face that he has been looking for a spot to get the rest of his chips in for at least an hour now. He finally found that spot.

Working around the table, a player under the gun limped into the pot. Next to act was Jeffrey Bryan, and he put out a raise to 1,850. John McDonald was up next, and he put in the call. The small blind folded, and Stiglets wasted little time acting from the big. Grabbing his whole short stack, he moved all in for a total of 9,700. The limper and Jeffrey Bryan folded, and action was back on McDonald.

"I don't think I can get away from this one," he said, fingering his chips. After a moment, he made the call, putting Stiglets' tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown:
McDonald: {A-Spades}

Stiglets:

Stiglets' first reaction was a big sigh of disgust as he saw that he was racing for his tournament life. "That's okay, you guys folded aces, right?" he asked the table.

Everyone simply shook their heads. The race was on.

With the at-risk player standing to sweat his fate, the dealer ran out the community cards: {2-Clubs}

. That safe board spelled a big win for Stiglets, and he clapped his hands together in celebration. After dragging down that pot, the Poker Battle Warrior has jumped back up the board, sitting now with just over 23,000.

Welcome back to the game, Mr. Stiglets.
