Marle Spragg raised to 32,000 in the cutoff, and small blind Michail Tastanis raised to 90,000 (leaving himself just 6,000 behind). Spragg quickly set him in and he stood up, saying, “Let me check the pay jump…”
A few seconds later, those last chips followed the rest and he showed down a monster – Kc Kd. Spragg, however, had the only better hand – Ad Ah.
The board flopped her a set, and him a gutshot straight draw with Jh Qh Ac. The turn was the 9d but the river the Tc and Tastanis survives with 200,000 while Spragg drops to 315,000.
