Calum Grant

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After losing out on a big pot moments ago, Spencer Hudson has seen his short stack increase in size.

Shortly after becoming a short stack, he was all in from under the gun for 4,300 and was called by the big blind.

Hudson had QxJx and was up against 10x8x. The queen-high remained best as neither player connected on the 7♥6♦4♣K♠2♠ runout.

The following hand, Hudson jammed from the big blind for 9,100 over a 2,500 open. The original raiser called for Hudson to be at risk.

Spencer Hudson: A♣J♦
Opponent: 3♠3♥

Hudson found a consecutive double up after he ended with two pair as the board ran out with the A♠J♥4♥5♦8♦.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The under-the-gun player opened before Spencer Hudson jammed for around 26,500 on his direct left. Oliver Bunting called off his 22,000 stack from middle position, which prompted the original raiser to fold.

Oliver Bunting: A♣A♠
Spencer Hudson: J♠J♣

Bunting was way ahead with his rockets until Hudson made a full house on the K♣K♠J♥ flop to become the huge favorite. The 6♦ turn changed nothing. However, the K♥ river improved Bunting to a superior full house while counterfeiting Hudson.

Bunting collected the pot after the wild runout to leave his opponent on crumbs.
