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.

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Patrick Suzuki was just seen making his way from the tournament area and confirmed that he got ace-queen in preflop against the pocket sevens of Jerry Morrell and was unable to get there.

Morrell Now finds himself with over 350,000 with an hour and some change remaining in the day, making him the largest stack in the room for the time being.

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.

PokerNews will be returning to Sycuan alongside MSPT to bring you live updates of both the $360 Regional and $1,110 Main Events.
