Spataru Cracks Aces to Survive
Level 28
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Andrei Spataru shoved from under the gun for around 400,000 and Martin Vittek made the call from the small blind.
Andrei Spataru: K♣5♣ 
Martin Vittek: A♠A♣
Spataru had run into it, but could see an escape path as the 6♦3♦7♣ flop gave him a gutshot. That came in on the 4♥ turn, which left Vittek drawing to a chop. No sharing was going to happen on Spataru's watch, though, as the 10♠ river meant he doubled up.
