Cochrane Spark'd on River

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Eli Heath opened to 10,500 from middle position only to have Christopher Sparks make it 28,000 from the cutoff.

With the action on Gavin Cochrane in the small blind, he moved all in for 78,500 to force a fold from Heath as Sparks went into the tank for several minutes.

"Hand caught in the cookie jar?" quipped Matthew Kirk.

Eventually Sparks opted to make the call.

Sparks: {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Cochrane: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

With Cochrane in great shape to double, the {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} kept a sweat alive with any eight or four being disastrous for him.

The {10-Clubs} on the turn bricked things out, but the devastating {8-Spades} on the river saw Sparks jump to his feet and scream, "Weeeeee!"

As Cochrane hits the rail for an AUD$20,000 payday, Sparks climbs to 275,000 in chips.
