Crawshaw Wins a Fun Hand; Spano Leads

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

"Do you want to hear a fun hand?" Hamish Crawshaw said as he sat behind a respectable stack of around 115,000.

Crawshaw went on to explain that he had busted an opponent when he called a raise with {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} out of the small blind and check-raised a {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-} flop with bottom pair and the nut flush draw. His opponent jammed for around 45,000 with {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and didn't get there.

While the stack of Crawshaw is not too shabby, Robert Spano has more than double of that and appears to be the chip leader heading into the dinner break.

The nine seat on that table is now empty and formerly belonged to Jim Pizanias.
