Bull Charges to Double-Up
Level 16
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Robbie Bull in the hijack and Mark Spelman in the small blind were battling over a pot of 35,000 when Spelman checked the 2♠K♦5♠ flop to Bull. Bull put in a bet of 8,000, which Spelman raised to 22,000.
Bull flicked in a call to the 7♣ turn, where he instantly called when Spelman put him all-in for 64,000.
Robbie Bull: 5♥5♣
Mark Spelman: K♣Q♣
Spelman's top pair was drawing dead against the set of Bull, rendering the 6♣ river meaningless. Bull doubled to a healthy stack, while Spelman was left short with a stack of only seven big blinds.
