Spataro Wins Flip to Double Up
Level 31
: Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
Jonathon Sparks opened the action with a raise in the cutoff and Giovanni Spataro three-bet jammed in the big blind for 1,845,000 to put himself at risk. Sparks made the call.
Giovanni Spataro: A♥Q♥ 
Jonathon Sparks: 9♠9♥
It was a fair fight but Spataro pulled ahead on the 10♣K♥A♠ flop, pairing his ace. The 6♠ turn and K♠ river offered no help to Sparks and the pot was pushed Spataro's way.
