The Big Show Pulls An Online Move

Steve Topakas has taken a huge pot in a "battle of the Steves" with the online team captain Steve Leonard.

After Topakas raised to 450, Leonard made it 1,050 to go from the big blind. Topakas called and they saw a flop of {4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

Leonard fired 975 and Topakas moved all in for 3,075 with Leonard instantly calling.

Topakas: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Leonard: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The turn was the {9-Hearts} to give Topakas even more out to stay alive and he hit when the {Q-Hearts} fell on the river to complete his flush.

"That's an online move Big Show!" commented the rail as the hand has left Leonard on life support.
