Bad luck for Gavin Smith
Bad luck for Gavin Smith
The double-up bug is going round and round the room for the Spades Bracket. Ilari Sahamies check-raised all-in after Gavin Smith led out on a flop of {J-?} {8-Spades} {4-Spades}. Smith quickly called with {J-Spades} {7-Spades}, top pair and a flush draw; Sahamies showed a bigger flush draw with {K-Spades} {6-Spades}. The {6-?} that hit the turn gave Sahamies additional outs. He won the hand with the {A-Spades} on the river, making his flush the nut flush.
