Fridley Skittle'd

Thomas Fridley opened to 25,000 from under the gun only to have Jonathan Spinks three-bet to 63,000 from the cutoff.

With the action on Fridley he made it 113,000 to go as Spinks began to deliberate.

A minute went by before Spinks announced he was all in for an additional 360,000 to Fridley. Fridley made the call for his last 230,000 and we were off to a showdown.

Fridley: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Spinks: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

The {A-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Spades} flop virtually sealed the deal for Spinks, and after the {7-Clubs} came on the turn he was soon verifying his chip count.

The {K-Diamonds} came on the river to rub salt in the wounds of Fridley as he exited the tournament as Spinks climbed to 850,000 in chips.

"I gotta get me some of those Skittles!" announced a fellow tablemate.

"Yeah, they've been good to me" added Spinks as it was explained that since he bought a packet of Skittles, he has seen his once depleted chip stack soar up to the chip lead.

"When I pose for my bracelet photos I'll make sure I have a packet" the quietly spoken Spinks added before returning to raking in the pot.
