Spears and Nguyen Double Up

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Adam Bitker raised to 35,000 and Robbie Bakker called, Andy Spears raised to 75,000 with about 220,000 behind and Bitker moved all in. Bakker folded {A-}{Q-} and Bitker turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Spears was at risk with {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} but got the necessary help on the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board.

Steve Nguyen moved all in for 184,000 from early position and Ron Carrocio called in the big blind with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Nguyen had one over card in {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and did indeed improve on the {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} board. Carrocio sighed "so poker is a skill game," before shipping over the stack and losing half of his chips.
