Philip Sparta told us the details of this one. In a battle-of-the-blinds situation, Philip Sparta is in the small blind. He says the big blind has been reraising a lot throughout the day. So Sparta makes it 1,800 to go and the big blind indeed re-pops to 7,000. Sparta goes all in for his last 32,000 and the opponent calls with A-J. Sparta has K-K. The flop has a king. The turn has a queen to give the opponent a draw, but he misses on the river and Sparta climbs into the chip lead with 47,000 in chips.
