Aragon Gets a Fun Triple

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Mariah Aragon
Mariah Aragon

Mariah Aragon got her stack of 24,000 into the middle preflop and saw Phil Gioia re-jam on the button with the small blind giving both players action.

Mariah Aragon: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Phil Gioia: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Small Blind: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Aragon's deuces were in about as good of a situation as she could have imagined, and a deuce in the window of the flop {10-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts} temporarily made things even better. However, she still had four outs to fade, though those were squashed as the turn {10-Diamonds} paired the board to give her a full house and secure her triple. The river {3-Spades} completed the runout to make the hand official and the pot was shipped her way once it was made right.

Sycuan Casino

The Mid-States Poker Tour will play host to the United States Poker Championship September 16-26 at Sycuan Casino in San Diego, California.

A total of 11 trophy events will take place including a $360 Regional $100K Guarantee during the opening weekend (September 16-19) and the $1,110 Main Event running from Thursday, September 23 through Sunday, September 26, which will feature a $300K Guarantee for its three starting flights.

Sycuan's first MSPT stop came back in March and also culminated with a $300K Guarantee Main Event. That time, Alesandro Jauregui claimed victory and the accompanying $140,665 first-place prize after topping a field of 676, which more than doubled the tournament's guaranteed prize pool.
