Big Pot for Andino

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Joseph Andino
Joseph Andino

The flop read {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} when the player in the small blind checked. The player in the big blind shoved for Joseph Andino to respond with a shove of his own for 98,700 which had his opponent in the big blind covered. Two other players quickly folded and the big blind revealed his cards but then quickly turned them back over as the small blind still had a decision. After a while, the small blind made the call too with the biggest stack of them all.

Big Blind: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Joseph Andino: {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Both players in the blinds had flopped top pair while Andino had hit two pair.

The turn brought them the {3-Spades} which didn't change things and neither did the {2-Spades} on the river as Andino busted the big blind and earned a full double-up through the player in the small blind.

The river completed the board with the {a-Hearts} for both players to check again. McNicholas tabled {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for the turned full house to pick up the pot.
