Van Wijk Catches Spano's Hand in the Cookie Jar
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Armon van Wijk opened to 30,000 from early position and he found one caller in Robert Spano, who was in the big blind.
Spano check-called a 30,000 bet from van Wijk on the 10♥2♣10♣ flop and a 100,000 bet from van Wijk on the 3♠ turn.
However, Spano led out for 225,000 after the 10♦ river brought trips on board and van Wijk went into the tank.
Van Wijk counted out a call and pondered his decision a bit before giving his calling chips a kiss and placing them into the middle.
Spano tabled A♠J♥, which was no good against van Wijk's 9♣9♦ to award van Wijk the pot.
