Aziz Junior Spikes the River For a Bustout
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A player in middle position was all in for around 350,000 as Marcelo Tadeu Aziz Junior put him at risk from the big blind.
All-In Player: A?K? 
Marcelo Tadeu Aziz Junior: Q?Q?
The at-risk player took the lead on the A?7?8? flop with top pair, while the 2? turn left him one card away from a double up. The river, though, was the Q? and Aziz Junior spiked a two-outer for a set to win the pot and send his opponent to the rail.
"I can be all in and have you dead on the turn, and I still wouldn't celebrate until the river," tablemate Steven Warburton told Aziz Junior after the hand.
