Sparacio Doubles Through Walton

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Facing a middle-position limp, Charles Walton raised to 600 in the hijack. James Sparacio, in the cutoff raised to 2,000, the original limper called, and Walton four-bet to 15,600.

Sparacio five-bet shoved for 43,000, and Walton, clearly not thrilled with the situation, asked for a count and eventually made the call. Walton had Sparacio covered going to the showdown.

James Sparacio: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Charles Walton: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Board: {j-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The {a-Diamonds} on the flop all but clinched the hand for Sparacio, who's up to more than double the starting stack after the double up.

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Grubbs Gets Back to Starting Stack

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

One hand after seeing most of his stack disappear in a big pot against George Chen, John Grubbs recovered and got back to just below the starting stack.

Grubbs was in the cutoff in a three-way hand, with {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Spades} showing on the turn. A middle-position player bet 2,900, the hijack folded, and Grubbs made the call.

The middle-position player checked the {8-Hearts} turn, Grubbs bet 7,000, and the opponent made a quick call. Grubbs tabled {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, with his straight good enough to take down the pot.

Chen Doubles Through Grubbs

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Details leading up to the showdown are unknown, but George Chen is up to nearly double the starting stack after doubling up through John Grubbs.

Chen held the winner with {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} on a {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} board, with his queen-high straight getting the best of Grubbs' top set with {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

The big hand didn't eliminate Grubbs, however, as he still has 19,000 chips to work with as the early levels of Day 1b play on.
