Pihela Hits a Miracle to Bust Pustina
Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Vlastimil Pustina was in the big blind and got his last 35,000 in the middle against Igor Pihela in the cutoff.
Vlastimil Pustina: A♠A♥ 
Igor Pihela: A♦Q♥
Pihela was drawing incredibly thin against Pustina's aces, but that changed quickly when the flop came Q♣Q♠8♠ to give him trips. "Spade," Pustina pleaded with the dealer, but he instead saw the board run out 10♣8♥ to send him to the rail.
Tablemate Joakim Andersson told Pihela he folded a queen preflop as Pihela took the pot to add to his massive stack.
