Sparta Sucks Out

Phillip Sparta
Phillip Sparta
Phillip Sparta is running well.

After calling his opponent's all-in bet on a flop of 8-5-4, Sparta turned over pocket jacks to find out his opponent flopped a set while holding pocket 8s.

A brick on the river brought no help, but a jack on the river gave Sparta the winning hand and sent his opponent to the payout desk. Sparta now has 470,000 chips.
