Portaro Gets There

Bruno Portaro limped in from early position before being raised to 700. The big blind made the call and Portaro came along to see a {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop.

Action checked to the preflop aggressor who fired 1,500. The big blind folded but Portaro made the call.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and Portaro check-called for 3,000 before the {K-Clubs} completed the board. Both players checked it down and the cards were table.

The late position player flipped {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for just ace-high but Portaro got there with his creative {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flush. He's now chipped back up over his starting stack.
