Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} on the board, Pete Dailey bet 35,000 from the big blind and Ben Craig tried to put in calling chips but had the wrong color — the orange T5,000s are quite close to the pink T25,000s. He was forced to raise to 70,000 and Dailey came back with 230,000. Craig nonetheless called and they both checked the {3-Diamonds}.

Craig showed {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and took the pot.

Then, Craig opened and Dailey called in the big blind. On the {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, Craig bet 55,000. Dailey check-raised all in for about 350,000 and Craig called.

Craig: {q-Spades}{6-Spades}
Dailey: {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

"No spade," Dailey urged.

The dealer didn't comply, though, after the {5-Clubs} turn as a {j-Spades} completed the board to make Craig's flush and crown him the winner.
