Gaultieri Dwindling

Scott Stanko raised under the gun and received calls from Joe Gualtieri on the button and Darren Woods in the small blind. Woods checked the {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} {J-Clubs} flop, allowing Stanko to continuation bet. Gualtieri then three-bet, Woods folded, and Stanko made the call.

After the dealer had burned and turned the {7-Spades} , Stanko bet, Gualtieri called, and the {9-Diamonds} was put out on the river. Again Stanko bet and Gualtieri made the call. Stanko showed {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} for a flopped straight as Gualtieri shook his head and revealed {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} .

The previous hand left Gualtieri with just 14,500, but he was able to double on the very next hand after getting all in preflop against Stanko. Gualtieri held {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} against his opponent's {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} and had the board run out a kind {3-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {A-Spades} . Although he doubled, Gualtieri is still our short stack.
