Toth Slips to Spinelli

Over on table 370, we witnessed another big all-in-preflop situation between Hungarian Team PokerStars Pro Richard Toth and Patrick Spinelli; Toth had Spinelli covered and tabled {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}, but would need a lot of help against Spinelli's {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

The flop of {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds} improved neither hand, but the {9-Hearts} appeared on the turn to give Toth extra outs. Needing either a jack or ten to win, or the six to chop, the river was a useless {2-Hearts} and Spinelli doubled up.
