David Tops Goliath

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

It was PokerStars qualifier Norion Rosa against online titan Linus Loeliger, and the underdog came out on top in a big pot.

With {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} sitting on the felt, a player had bet 1,900 in middle position. Rosa made it 4,000 on the button and Loeliger repopped to 11,000 from the big blind. The original bettor mucked, but Rosa stuck around. Loeliger shoved all in on the {2-Hearts} turn, and Rosa snap-called.

Rosa: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Loeliger: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Rosa was ahead, and the {2-Clubs} river enabled him to dodge Loeliger's outs. Rosa let out a yell of celebration and collected 23,425, most of Loeliger's remaining chips.
