PartyPoker Team Pro Matt Staples is now in Day 1b of the £500 Main Event. His brother, Jaime Staples, bagged 67,000 in yesterday’s Day 1a flight.
After two players, David Greenough and Richard Mackay, limped from early position, Staples made it 4,000. Both of his opponents made the call. Action was checked to Staples on the 9♣8♥10♠ flop, and he continued on the aggressive path with a 10,000 bet. Greenough then moved all in for roughly 20,000. Mackay folded before Staples made the call.
David Greenough: Q♣J♣
Matthew Staples: 9♦8♦
Greenough was ahead with the flopped straight, but Staples improved to a full house on the 9♥ turn. The 7♣ river didn’t change anything, and Staples now plays twice the average stack.
Jaime Staples: 127,000
