Sparacio Bets River, Takes Down Pot

Level 11 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

With more than 40,000 in the pot, and the board showing {5-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, a middle-position player checked, and James Sparacio checked back from the hijack.

The river came {6-Spades}, the middle-position player bet 16,000, and Sparacio called. The middle-position player instantly mucked, and with the pot going his way, Sparacio is sitting on one of the bigger stacks in the room as Level 11 plays on.

Anthony Mastragostino: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Big Blind: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
