Spirins Gets a Massive Double from Kuhn
Pavels Spirins raised to 2,600 in middle position and Robert Kuhn defended from the big blind. The flop came 8♦5♥3♣ and Kuhn checked to Spirins who continued with a bet. Kuhn check-raised to 16,000 and Spirins just called.
The turn brought the 9♠ and Kuhn checked again. Spirins fired out a bet of 13,500 and Kuhn check-raised to 47,000. Spirins called and the A♦ landed on the river.
Kuhn checked for the third time and Spirins only gave him two options this time by shoving all in for 143,000. Kuhn asked for a count and went into the tank for at least two minutes.
"This might be the worst played hand ever," he said to himself while thinking. Kuhn eventually called and Spirins turned over 5♠5♣ for a set of fives while Kuhn was forced to show his K♣8♥ for just a pair of eights.
