Stokes Chips Up

When Roy Winston raised to 500 from the button, the small blind reraised all in for 2,800. Jamin Stokes made the call from the big blind and Winston got out of the way.

Stokes: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

A board of {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} gave Stokes a sweat, but the {K-Hearts} on the river proved harmless, and he took the hand. His stack is now worth 19,000.
