Navarro Hits Every King In the Deck

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mario Navarro
Mario Navarro

Mario Navarro bet 14,000 in the cutoff, and the button raised all in over the top for 98,000.

Several players were between the two, and a few minutes went by before Navarro had a chance to act.

After a player in the big blind made a fold that looked like it hurt him, Navarro called the raise from the button, and the cards were tabled. Navarro had him covered.

Button: {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Mario Navarro: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Navarro was ahead, and the flop of {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} only made it better. The button needed running hearts that didn't pair the board to best Navarro's three of a kind.

A player not in the hand was asking for hearts to make it interesting, but Navarro paid him zero attention.

It would be the {k-Clubs} to make Navarro quads, and ending any hope of runner-runner for the button to pull ahead. The {q-Spades} completed the board and made it official.

Navarro became one of the biggest stacks in the room, and people continued to talk about the hand at the surrounding tables while he counted his new chips.
