Malkotis Spikes the River to Bust Gil
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Spyros Malkotis to 120,000 in the hijack, Alex Gil moved all in for 500,000 in the small blind, and Malkotis called.
Alex Gil: 10♦10♠
Spyros Malkotis: A♠J♦
Gil remained in the lead through the turn on a board of 3♠K♦4♣K♠, but Malkotis spiked the J♠ on the river to win the pot and send Gil and his cat to the rail.
"You were a class act," James Calderaro told Gil as he shook his hand. Gil took a minute to gather his things before heading off to the payout desk.
"Why am I still here? I'm waiting for another river, that's why," Gil joked.
