Spaulding Stacking Big

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Happy Spaulding
Happy Spaulding

Happy Spaulding has one of the biggest stacks in the room as Level 7 winds down.

Spaulding's latest win came in a hand that saw Spaulding and three other players put 2,000 in the pot preflop. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, and all four players checked.

The turn came {9-Spades}, and action checked to the small blind, who bet 2,700. Only Spaulding called.

Both remaining players checked the {q-Spades} river, and Spaulding's {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} was good enough to take down the pot.

Araya Takes Two

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

One hand after doubling up, Jose Araya added to his stack by winning a multiway pot.

The hand began with Araya limping from the hijack. The cutoff called, and the button raised to 1,800. Both blinds called, Araya called, the the cutoff called.

All players checked the {9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop. Araya bet 2,500 on the {k-Clubs} turn, and got no callers.

Big Blind: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Board: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Araya's fortunes didn't look good through the turn, but the river {q-Clubs} brought in a pair of queens and a win for Araya.
