"It's a Sick Game"; Protopapas Finds a Miracle Against Clay
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Dean Clay raised to 5,000 in early position and Michalis Protopapas three-bet to 15,000 in middle position. Clay then moved all in, and Protopapas snap-called for 89,500.
Michalis Protopapas: Q♣Q♠ 
Dean Clay: K♣K♠
Protopapas was crushed by Clay's kings as the board came A♥J♥6♥A♦, leaving him one card away from elimination. The river, though, was the Q♥ and Protopapas spiked a two-outer to make a full house and double up.
