Lapka Catapults on Fortuitous River

Level 17 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Three runners had all their chips in the middle as Justin Lapka, Donald Marks, and one other player turned over their cards.

Donald Marks: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Justin Lapka: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Lapka was leading with his pair of dimes and had both of his adversaries covered headed into the {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop where Marks smacked two cowboys.

The dealer burned and turned a {6-Hearts}, leaving Marks in an optimal spot to pull in the pot but an unlikely {10-Diamonds} hit the felt instead. Lapka's rivered ten catapulted him into a seven-figure stack, sending two out the door in the process.
