Coatar Brings the Payne
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Wayne Payne raised all in to 235,000 under the gun. Aditya Sushant reshoved for 690,000 in the small blind, and big blind Geoffrey Coatar quickly called, covering both players.
Wayne Payne: A♠3♠ 
Aditya Sushant: A♦Q♠
Geoffrey Coatar: 9♥9♣
As the dealer was getting ready to deal the flop, Coatar repeatedly shouted for a clean runout, while Payne was humming "spades" over and over.
Cotar got his wish while Payne's hymn had no effect when the board ran out J♣7♠4♣7♦6♣. Coatar's nines held up and eliminated his two opponents, and he gave himself a high five to celebrate.
