Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 22nd Place - Siroka ($3,058)

Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 1,651
Players Remaining: 21

Harold Siroka had just win a huge pot where he doubled through Geoffrey Lewit and left Lewit with just 50,000.  Everyone at the table assumed that Lewit would be the next to go, but after Ray Ross opened the next pot, Siroka three-bet shoved for close to 1,600,000.  Ross would go into the tank, and eventually announced a call:

Ross: A K
Siroka: A♠ A♣

Flop: K♣ Q 6
Turn: 8♣
River: K♠

Siroka would stand up and give a huge clap when the hands were tabled, but his celebration ended up being premature.  Ross was in really bad shape, and needed a special runout to win the hand...which is exactly what he got.  Ray couldn't believe the river, his eyes wide open in shock, as Siroka just stood down at the board.  Ray is now at 4,400,000 after winning that pot, and is in promising shape to make a run at his fourth Big Stax final table.
