Middleton Rivers Flush to Chip Up
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Tom Middleton opened to 11,000 with the A?J? from an early position, Alexander van der Swaluw called with the K?Q? and so did Salvatore Camarda in the small blind with the 6?6?. Benjamin Spragg also came along in the big blind with the 7? showing.
The 8?5?2? flop was checked to Middleton and he bet 25,000 into 49,000. Van der Swaluw folded, Camarda called and Spragg folded. The 8? turn paired the board and Camarda checked, as did Middleton, who then hit the 7? river to make the ace-high flush.
Camarda opted to lead for 16,000 but Middleton raised to 95,000 to force out the italian.
