Maeda's Wheel Leaves Spatuzzi Short
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Akinobu Maeda and Jesse Spatuzzi were heads up on a flop of 4♣5♥Q♦.
Maeda checked to Spatuzzi from the big blind and Spatuzzi bet 2,500. Maeda then shoved for 18,500 total and Spatuzzi asked for a count before making the call.
Akinobu Maeda: 3♣2♣
Jesse Spatuzzi: 10♦10♣
Spatuzzi held the lead with his tens, but the A♥ turn immediately filled Maeda's straight draw and left Spatuzzi drawing dead.
An irrelevant 2♠ completed the board and Maeda doubled up.
