Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Paul Spitzberg was faced with a small all-in bet of around 24,000 on a flop of {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and opted to make the call with {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

His opponent revealed {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for two pair, leaving Spitzberg drawing to a flush or a backdoor straight. Like the Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake classic, Spitzberg went runner-runner as the turn and river came {q-Clubs}, {8-Diamonds} respectively, giving him a straight.

"Wow," Spitzberg said in disbelief, admitting he didn't even know he could make a straight.

The 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open finalist raked in the pot, and now has 190,000 chips,
