James Van Alstyne Wins a Big Pot From Arnold Spee

With the board showing {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} James Van Alstyne bet 5,000. Arnold Spee thought it over and said, "Only two hands can beat me."

After Spee called, Van Alstyne said "I've got one," and turned over {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for sevens full of tens, while Spee held {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{A-Hearts} for sevens full of fives. The ten on the river gave Van Alstyne a pot which lifted his stack to 32,000, while Spee fell to 6,400.

Bill Pitts Builds His Stack

After the player in the big blind moved in for his last 1,500, Bill Pitts and another player saw of flop of {6-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Spades}. The other player bet 1,800, Pitts raised to 4,500 and was called. The other player checked the {10-Hearts} on the turn but called Pitts' 6,000 bet. When the {Q-Diamonds} hit on the river the other player folded his cards out of turn and conceded the pot to Pitts, who showed the {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}. Pitts is now up to 39,700.
