Big Stack Equals More Options

On a flop of {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Juan Macieras called a short-stacked player's all-in bet and turned over {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for top pair, an overcard to the board, and a gutshot straight-flush draw. His opponent tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, but the {10-Spades} on the river gave Macieras the hand and yet another notch on his belt. He's up to 60,000.
