Unlucky Engel Takes a Hit

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

There were two active players on a flop of {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and the big blind led out for 2,800. Ari Engel was on the button and he bumped it up to 7,600. The bet was called and the {4-Spades} arrived on the turn.

The big blind checked it over to Engel who continued for 7,600. His opponent then moved all in for a total of 21,600. Engel snapped it off and the cards went on their backs.

Engel: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Engel had the best of it with three of a kind jacks and only needed to fade a spade to ensure he locked up the healthy pot and sent his tablemate packing. The {2-Spades} meant that wasn’t to be as the player in the big blind completed the nut flush and Engel lost a decent portion of his stack.
