Guttman Spades His Way to a Suckout

Michael "Sticky" Guttman got it all in preflop holding {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}, but he was in awfully bad shape, up against his opponent's {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}.

The flop was {7-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {6-Spades}, and the {8-Spades} on the turn brought a little glimmer of hope for the all-in player. Much to his delight, a fourth spade -- the {Q-Spades} -- hit the river, giving Guttman an unlikely come-from-behind flush. He doubled up to 31,000.
