Spears Receives a Gift

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Andy Spears has almost a quarter of a million chips thanks to a real gift from an opponent at his table.

We hear Loni Harwood telling the tournament's chip leader Hiren Patel that the player had raised from late position, Spears three-bet from the big blind, the player responded with a small four-bet, to which Spears five bet "ripped" over the top of for 114,000. The player made a reluctant call and showed {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Spears the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

A final board reading {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} kept Spears' queen ahead and doubled him to 240,000.
