[user25067]

Don't you wish you could start every tournament like this?

Bryce Tickner limped in from UTG, the button limped, the small blind completed and the big blind checked. The flop was {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

. Both blinds checked to Tickner, who bet 200. The button called and the blinds called. The turn was the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

. Again it was checked to Tickner, who bet 400. The button raised to 1,000, the small blind called, the big blind folded, and Tickner called. The river was the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

. The small blind moved all in, Tickner called and the button called as well.

The small blind turned up {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

for a straight. The button had the same straight with {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

but Tickner had the stone nuts with {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

.

Aii ya!

After the hand, Tickner was up to 12,000 in chips.
