Spiro Mitrokostas started the action by raising under the gun. Mike Zagorites folded, and Phuong Nguyen called from the small blind. Then Joseph Smith moved all in from the big blind. Spiro elected to call all in, and Phuong made an agonizing laydown, finally flashing pocket nines. Spiro was in bad shape holding the [Js][Jc] against the [Ks][Kc] of Joseph. The flop was no help for Spiro, falling [Qs][2h][Ts], but the turn brought Spiro the [Jh] he needed. He needed to dodge a outs to a straight or a bigger set for Joseph, and he did just that when the river fell [4d].
