Porter Movin' on Up

Few who have tangled with Rep Porter today have emerged unscathed. The small blind in this hand paid the price after limping in, and then raising a Porter raise from 3,000 to 36,000 all in. Porter made the call and tabled {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, dominating the small blind's {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Neither player improved on a jack-high board.

Porter increased his stack to about 152,000. The small blind was eliminated.
