Gil Busts to Spatharis' "Big Blind Special"
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
There were around 15,000 chips in the pot on a board of 2♣Q♥8♦6♣ when Alexantr Spatharis led out for 10,400 from the big blind and Albert Gil shoved for around 28,000 from middle position. Spatharis snap-called.
Albert Gil: K♦Q♣ 
Alexantr Spatharis: 8♥2♠
Spatharis had flopped two pair from the big blind and Gil's top pair needed to improve on the river if he wanted to stay alive. However, the 9♥ wasn't one of Gil's outs, and he was sent to the rail as Spatharis collected the pot.
"I've waited for three hours," said Spatharis, probably in reference to getting a strong hand.
