McCully Finds a Way and Doubles Through Spano

Level 17 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds where Robert Spano raised, making it 200,000 which was enough to put Josh McCully all in for roughly 85,000. McCully thought for a bit then called.

Robert Spano: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Josh McCully: {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} and McCully paired his nine on the turn to take the lead, allowing him to double up back over 200,000. Spano sat with just over 400,000 after the hand.
