Auckland Chipping Up

Herbie Teope

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action on the flop showed 6?7?10? on the board and a player in early position facing a 30,000 check-raise from Daniel Auckland, who was in the big blind.

Auckland’s opponent, who originally bet 10,000, came back over the top with an all-in bet. Auckland, who had his opponent covered, immediately called.

Opponent: Q?Q?
Daniel Auckland: Q?5?

Auckland was well ahead with a flopped flush, and he sealed the hand when the dealer placed 5? on the turn and 7? on the river.

Auckland scored a massive pot, which elevated his chip stack above the 400,000 mark.
