Spirins Cracks Queens
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Antonin Hays raised to 6,000 in the cutoff and Pavels Spirins three-bet jammed on the button for 62,500 to put himself at risk. Hays quickly called.
Pavels Spirins: A♦5♦
Antonin Hays: Q♥Q♦
The flop came 6♦6♥9♥ with Hays' queens still in the lead. Spirins found a little bit of help on the 5♥ turn, and hit an ace on the A♠ river to stay alive.
