Spirins Raises Massive
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action was picked up on the river, with a board reading 9♦6♦3♥4♥6♥. Big blind Michael Moncek was sat with 80,000 as his bet, into a pot of around 300,000. His opponent in the hand, Pavels Spirins in early position, postured for a while before putting in a huge raise, to the tune of 650,000. This was for most of Moncek's stack, and he went deep into the tank. Eventually, he put in the call, and saw the bad news as Spirins tabled A♥2♥ for the backdoored nut flush.
