Alexander the Great

Alexander Luber raised to 4,500 from the cut-off, only for the big blind to move all in for a total of 25,000. Luber made the call with {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}, but was chagrined to see his foe flip {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} onto the felt.

However, after an {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{K-Spades} board, the river came a cheeky {6-Diamonds} to deliver the shorter of the two stacks a rather besmirching blow and enable Luber to embrace a now 160,000 stack.
