Snead Gets Creative

Paul Snead
Paul Snead
In a bizarre hand, Paul Snead opened the action with a raise to 110,000 from the cutoff. Chris Crilly flat called on the button as the blinds stepped aside.

The two players went to a flop of {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}. Snead fired out 250,000 and Crilly made the call.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Snead checked over to Crilly who bet out 400,000. Snead made the call as a big pot was brewing.

The river was the {8-Spades} and Snead moved all in for 2.2 million. Crilly sighed flashing {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and tossed his cards into the muck. Snead flipped over {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for an aggressively played pair of sixes, much to the surprise of the table!

With this creative play Snead jumps up to 3.75 million with Crilly falling below 2 million.
