Stapleton Finds the Double Up
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel Lim raised to 2,000 in the hijack and was called by Jose Cayetano in the cutoff, Joe Stapleton on the button, and Arlie Shaban in the big blind.
The flop came 5♣A♣K♠ and it checked to Cayetano who bet 3,000. Stapleton then moved all in for 16,200 to put himself at risk and it folded back around to Cayetano who made the call.
Joe Stapleton: K♣Q♣ 
Jose Cayetano: A♠J♥
The 7♠ turn was a blank for Stapleton but he got there on the 2♣ river, improving to a flush to earn the double up.
