Richards and a Lucky Lady

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

As level 14 drew down, John Richards pushed all-in for 38,500. Brett Apter called from the cutoff. The big blind player looked down and quickly pushed all his chips in. Apter asked for a count and made the call for an additional 23,000. All three players turned their hands over.

Richards held {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, Apter {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} and the big blind player held the only made hand going to the flop with {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

The flop of {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Spades} was a miss for both Richards and Apter, with the {6-Clubs} on the turn adding no help.

Richards was looking at a three out best hail mary and got there with the {q-Spades} on the river for a huge triple up.
