Pihela Hits a Miracle to Bust Pustina
Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Vlastimil Pustina was in the big blind and got his last 35,000 in the middle against Igor Pihela in the cutoff.
Vlastimil Pustina: A?A? 
Igor Pihela: A?Q?
Pihela was drawing incredibly thin against Pustina's aces, but that changed quickly when the flop came Q?Q?8? to give him trips. "Spade," Pustina pleaded with the dealer, but he instead saw the board run out 10?8? to send him to the rail.
Tablemate Joakim Andersson told Pihela he folded a queen preflop as Pihela took the pot to add to his massive stack.
