This Is Sparta! Well...Not Anymore.

A raising war ensued between Phillip Sparta and Blake Purvis. Sparta raised to 4,000 before Purvis reraised to 14,000. Sparta then moved all in for 43,000 total. Purvis makes the call.

Purvis: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Sparta: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board missed both players, and just as the Spartans, Phillip Sparta succumbed to the insurmountable odds of Blake Purvis's stack.

After the hand Purvis moved up to around 240,000 in chips.
