Sousa Not Marching Just Yet

[user66118]

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

It's been quite a bubble for Philip Sousa already, and we're still three away from the money.

Sousa was just crippled in a three-way pot where he held pocket jacks against pocket aces and pocket nines. Sousa won the side pot for what looked like 5,300 chips, and he had the unfortunate task of posting the big blind on the next hand.

Bryan Colin raised to 8,000, and the player in the small blind called. Sousa put his remaining chips into the pot without looking, and the board ran {X-} {X-} {2-} {5-} {A-} . Colin tabled {K-Spades} {J-Spades} , the small blind couldn't beat it, and it it was up to Sousa to show. He turned over the {4-Diamonds} first... then the {3-Hearts} for the wheel! Ship the double up.

On the next hand, a player in late position raised, and Sousa moved in for 18,400 from the small blind. His opponent called with {Q-Spades} {10-Spades} , and Sousa's {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs} managed to hold up on the {3-Hearts} {K-Spades} {J-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {5-Spades} board.
