Stapleton Takes a Hit
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
After shaking off the "playing bad" curse not that long ago, Joe Stapleton had built a healthy stack. It could have been even in the six digits if it wasn't for a full double of KODAI221. They clashed on a 4♣3♣3♦ flop with KODAI221 getting his chips in holding a big double draw on 6♣5♣.
Stapleton was ahead with K♥K♣ but only until the 7♠ turn, the 8♦ river then brought no further change.
"Kings no good, that one hurt," he said while recording the outcome on his phone.
