Big Show Still Hanging On ...

Though Stephen 'The Big Show' Topakas just copped a massive bad beat from Kerry Stead, he has somehow managed to keep his head above water - for now.

The action folded around to Dave Lee in the cutoff who made it 2,500 to go. Topakas raised all in without looking for 1,075 from the small blind and Peter Aristidou made up the difference in the big blind.

Aristidou and Lee checked the board of {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{J-Spades} all the way down. Lee rolled up {A-Spades}{10-Spades} and Aristidou mucked, but the rail leaned over as Topakas began to peel up his cards.

"Yes!" shouted Topakas, as he slammed his cards down on the table! The rail burst into laughter once again, but this time they were laughing with 'The Big Show', as he had managed to double up with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}!
