Tapinas Takes Lord's Name in Vain After Lascar Spikes Set
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alexander Shevliakov raised to 1,600 from middle position and picked up three callers, including David Lascar in the next seat across. Andrius Tapinas then three-bet to 7,800 from the big blind. Shevliakov folded and Lascar moved all in for 21,000. Only Tapinas made the call and had Lascar well covered as players turned their cards.
David Lascar: 2♦2♠ 
Andrius Tapinas: J♠J♣
Tapinas was way out ahead with pocket jacks, until the flop came 10♥3♦2♣ to give Lascar a set of deuces. The turn came the 9♦ and river the Q♠. Lascar held and doubled his stack.
Tapinas was so angry that he took the Lord's name in vain, saying "Jesus Christ" as he handed over the chips with a visible look of anguish on his face.
