Bad River for The Hoon

[user67765]

Mick "The Hoon" Stanton raised from middle position with Alfred Grech making the call, as did Matt Vengrin and Mel Judah in the blinds.

The flop landed {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

and the play checked to Stanton who bet out, with both Grech and Vengrin making the call.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

and again Stanton's bet was called by both opponents. They saw the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

peel off on the river, which slowed the action as the table checked around.

Stanton showed {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

but he'd been rivered by Vengrin's {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

, whose pair of kings was enough to capture the chips. He moves to 17,400 with Stanton back to 14,400.
