Etter Lives Again

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Up and down, up and down. That's been David Etter's story in Sao Paulo. He's ticking up again after doubling through an American player. Joao Bauer opened the pot pre-flop to 5,300 before the American moved all in for about 50,000. Etter had roughly the same amount and shoved behind, forcing Bauer out of the pot. Etter's {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} were racing against the American's {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. Etter wa happy not to see an ace or a king flop, {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Spades}, but still had to fade a lot of cards. The turn and river were both small diamonds, {9-Diamonds} and {4-Diamonds}. The American was crippled to 3,330 while Etter now has about 100,000.

"I'm still a favorite to win this," the American said, tongue planted firmly in check. Then he added, "Why couldn't it just come a 10 straight away? Why did it have to be two spades?"
