Awada Chips

We caught up to see Joe Awada heads up and looking at a board of {4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Awada fired out 3,300 and received a call.

The {8-Spades} turned and Awada bet 7,400. Another call was flung out from his opponent and the {6-Clubs} fell on fifth street. Awada bet 8,000 and his opponent tanked for a minute before tossing out a call.

"Straight," said Awada, tabling {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. "I got lucky on you," he continued as he raked in his newly found chips. Awada is currently sitting on 54,000.
