Sterling Doubles Up

Some action for you . . .

Matt Sterling raised to 5,000 from the small blind/button, Gregg Turk reraised to 15,000, Sterling pushed all in, and Turk made the call. Sterling showed A-K, and Turk a pair of nines.

The flop came {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and Turk needed a nine to knock out Sterling. The turn was the {A-Spades} and the river the {2-Diamonds}, and Sterling dragged the large pot.

Sterling now has 74,600, and Turk is down to 26,300.
