Araiza'n It Up!

A player limped from under the gun before Louis Araiza made it 1,200 to go from the hijack position. The button, both blinds, and the UTG player all called as a big pot was brewing.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and the action checked to the UTG who lead out for 1,500. Araiza bumped it up to 4,500 and only the UTG called, leaving himself about 800 behind.

The turn was the {J-Clubs} and Araiza moved all in. The UTG thought for a few moments before saving his last 800 in chips for a better spot.

After the hand Araiza was up to 22,000.
