Player Unknown Spikes Miracle River

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

After a sizeable pot was created preflop, an unknown player, let's call him Sam, blasted an all in bet of 92,000 on a {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop. The other player in the hand was chipleader Leo Kaplin who quickly made the call.

Leo Kaplin: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Sam: {10-Spades}{j-Spades}

The {7-Clubs} on the turn left Sam drawing to the river. The dealer patted the table and laid the {a-Spades} down giving Sam a straight as the massive pot was pushed his way.
