Pope Hits the Felt with Kings

Fabrizio La Spada's great fortune was Lee Pope's great misfortune and Pope's last hand of the 2009 Main Event. Pope got his dwindling stack into the middle with a big pair, {k-Spades} {K-Clubs}. La Spada had been dealt the biggest pair, {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}, and made the easy call. When the board ran out {J-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds}, tournament staff escorted Pope to the payouts table to begin the process of collecting his $21,365.
