Story Time With Snuffer

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Iverson Cotton Snuffer has been riding quite the roller coaster on this Day 2C. According to Snuffer, he started the day with 87,900 and found himself as low as 1,900 before going on a run back to 184,500 at the dinner break.

After the dinner break, he found himself in a heads up pot with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The flop came {j-}{9-}{8-} with one club and action checked through. The river came {4-Clubs} and his opponent fired a bet that he called. The river came {q-}, missing his flush draw but completing his queen-high straight. He ended up paying off his opponent who had {k-}{10-} for the higher straight, losing half his stack.

He had since gotten back to around the 140,000 mark when he raised to 5,000 from under the gun. The player directly to his left called, as did both James Mackey in the hijack and John Esposito in the cutoff.

The flop fell {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Snuffer continued for 12,000. Only Mackey hung around, taking action heads up to the turn {9-Spades}. Snuffer checked and Mackey fired a bet of 16,500, which Snuffer called.

The river came {10-Clubs}, putting three tens on the board. Snuffer checked again and Mackey checked behind, tabling {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for a flush.

Snuffer showed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a rivered full house and raked in the pot with a grim smile of relief as he stacked his chips.
