De La Rosa Wishes for a Spade
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ricardo De la Rosa opened to 2,500 from the hijack and received calls from Garik Tamasian on the button and Mustapha Kanit in the big blind.
All three players checked the A♣K♣7♠ flop leading to the Q♠ turn. Kanit checked, De la Rosa bet 3,700, Tamasian folded and Kanit called.
Both players checked the 7♣ river. Kanit showed J♠6♠ for a missed flush draw while De la Rosa tabled A♠2♠ for two pair, aces and sevens, and a higher missed flush draw.
"Give me a spade," De la Rosa joked as he scooped the pot.
