Liu Can't Pull a Spade out of her Hat

With about 9,000 in the pot, the flop fell {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The small blind checked to JJ Liu, and she obliged with a bet of 7,000. He then pulled out the check-raise, making it 20,000 to see the turn. Liu flatted, leaving herself exactly 6,200 behind. The turn was the {k-Hearts}, and the small blind bet enough to cover Liu. She called all in with {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a flush draw and needed to hit to stay alive against her opponent's {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. The {6-Diamonds} on the river gave her a pair, but it wasn't enough, and Liu and her giant hat were dispatched to the rail.
