Auckland Chipping Up

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.
