Spears Gets the Last Laugh

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Kenneth Silberstein was all in and at risk preflop for 48,100 holding {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}, and is in great shape to double against Andy Spears' {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

The dealer fanned {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, giving Spears a leading pair of queens, and Silberstein rose from his chair. He stood there with a frown on his face as the dealer burned and turned the {5-Hearts}, but his face lit up with joy when the {k-Diamonds} spiked on the river.

"Yes!" Silberstein whooped, clapping his hands together.

He doubled to above 100,000 chips, and put them all at risk once again minutes later against Spears. The money went in on a flop of {3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and Silberstein was at risk with {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Spears was drawing with {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and Silberstein walked away from the table as the turn was the {8-Hearts}.

Despite not wanting to look, Silberstein was close enough to see that the {6-Diamonds} completed the board, giving Spears a diamond flush and sending him to the rail.

"Nice hand," he said cheerily, collecting his things to leave.
