Action folds to Jeff Coutroulis in the small blind who raises to about 4,000. Jack Schanbacher re-raises from the big blind to 12,000. Coutroulis wastes little time is shoving his chips into the middle in a very forceful fashion, proclaiming, "I feel like I'm going to win this one!"

Schanbacher tanks for a minute before calling with the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

after saying, "I don't think I can fold here." Coutroulis confidently turns over the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

and is ahead. The pot is huge, over 70,000 chips.

The flop is clean for Coutroulis, {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

, but the turn is the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

and Schanbacher takes the lead. The river is the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

and Coutroulis is immensely crippled.

Players at the table seemed stunned by the hand and Coutroulis paces around in shock, saying, "After two days, why's it got to happen like that?!"
