Bratene Doubles Through Spires With Quads

Action folded to Ty Spires in middle position, who raised it up to 30,000. Action folded to Chris Bratene in the cutoff, who went all in for 91,000 total. It got back around to Spires, and he elected to make the call.

Spires: {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Bratene: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The flop was a decent one for Bratene, coming {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Bratene flopped quads, yet miraculously, Spires was not dead yet, as he was drawing to runner runner royal flush. You often here the phrase "Its never easy" when it comes to poker, and this was proof of that, as the {j-Diamonds} hit the turn. Spires was one queen of diamonds away from pulling the suckout of the century, but he wouldn't get it, as the {j-Hearts} hit the river. Bratene won the pot, upping his stack to 200,000.
