Staszko Scoops

The player in the hijack seat opened for 500 and found one caller in Martin Staszko directly behind him in the cutoff for a heads-up pot.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Staszko's opponent fired an 800 c-bet into the middle. Staszko called to see a turn, which brought the {3-Clubs}. Both players then proceeded to check the turn and the {8-Spades} river.

The player in the hijack reluctantly tabled {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Staszko flipped over {J-Spades}{10-Spades} for two pair, which was good enough to scoop the pot.

Last year's Main Event runner-up is up to 39,000 in the early going.
