Litton Spikes the River to Stun an Opponent

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jimmy Litton
Jimmy Litton

Jimmy Litton on the button and an opponent in the big blind got all their chips in the middle before the flop, with Litton having his opponent's remaining 35,000 narrowly covered.

All-In Player: K♥K♣ All in
Jimmy Litton: A♠K♠

The at-risk player stayed in the lead with his kings as the board came 4♣2♥5♠Q♥, but Litton spiked the A♦ on the river to win the pot and send his opponent to the rail.

"For the last three years, I can't win a preflop all in. And they're always for huge pots. Oh well, I'll be back tomorrow," the big blind said as he headed to the exit.

Keel spent several seconds shaking his head and staring at the board before returning his cards to the dealer. "What a river," tablemate Keith Heine said.
