Robson Barbosa raised to 65,000 from early position, Chalie Hook called out of the small blind, and Paul Spitzberg defended his big blind.
The flop fell 
, both players in the blinds checked, and Barbosa continued for 115,000. Hook folded, Spitzberg check-raised to 300,000, and Barbosa tank-called.
The pair checked on the turn (
), and the 
completed the board. Spitzberg checked a third time, Barbosa slid forward 550,000, and Spitzberg called.
Barbosa turned over 
for a set of fives, and Spitzberg tossed his cards into the muck.
After the hand, Spitzberg informed our reporter that that is the second time he's lost with
