Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Julio Escriba
Julio Escriba

Julio Escriba is up to 128,000 after a run of three consecutive hands, all of which saw Escriba add chips to the stack.

The first hand resulted in the elimination of an opponent, as Escriba's {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} bested the opponent's {4-}{4-} on a {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board. That hand sent around 30,000 chips to Escriba.

The next hand saw an under-thegun open to 1,300, and a call from Escriba in the big lind. Both players checked the {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} flop, and Escriba bet 4,000 on the {9-Spades} turn, prompting a fold.

Escriba added a third straight won pot after that, and he's sitting comfortably as Level 7 rolls on.
