Spano Pots to Push Off Howearth
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
Matthew Howearth and Robert Spano played a big pot that saw the latter leave the former on life support.
With the community cards spread 
and 20,500 in the pot on the river, Spano (big blind) had checked the action over to Howearth (button) who bet the pot.
Spano check-raised pot, effectively putting Howearth all-in for his tournament life and after some time in the tank, Howearth made the fold to drop to 7,000 or so in chips, while Spano climbed to ~200,000.
