Gross's Value Bet Backfires

We caught the action on the river with Steve Gross heads up with his opponent on a board that read {2-Hearts}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Action was on Gross, who fired out a bet of 775. His opponent thought for about 30 seconds before putting in the call, and Gross confidently turned over {j-Spades}{9-Spades} for two pair. However, his opponent flipped up {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}, showing two pair with a better kicker. The small hit matters little to Gross, who still has more then his starting stack despite the loss.
