The Fat Lady's Not Singing Yet

Steve 'The Big Show' Topakas
Steve 'The Big Show' Topakas
Steve Topakas moved all in for about 100,000 from under the gun. Kosta Varoxis reraised all in from the cutoff seat and then [Removed:297] called from the big blind.

Topakas: {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Varoxis: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Wenigwieser: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Topakas was the shortest of the three stacks and needed a lot of help to survive this one. Varoxis was the second shortest.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} and one of the two remaining aces in the deck flopped to put Wenigwieser behind.

The turn card was the {6-Spades} and the crowd surrounding the table began cheering for five to come on the river.

"Five one time, one time!" said Jamie Glazier huddled up close to the table.

As if sent from the heavens, the dealer burned and smacked the {5-Spades} on the river. Topakas was stunned and surrounded by his friends who made their way inside the ropes to the tableside. He's now up to 335,000 chips and STILL alive in the tournament.

"I was a favorite," laughed Topakas after the hand.

Wenigwieser has one million after the hand and Varoxis 455,000 after taking the side pot.
