Topol Doubles Through Spinks

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jonathan Spinks raised it up to 11,500 in middle position, and Stanley Topol, who was next to act, went all in for 80,500 total. The rest of the table folded, and it came back around to Spinks. After getting a count, and cutting the chips out of his stack, Spinks decided to make the call. When the cards were tabled, Spinks was not happy to see that he was dominated.

Spinks: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Topol: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The news went from bad to worse for Spinks as the flop came out {4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. The {5-Spades} on the turn was as good a card as he could have asked for, giving him outs for a chop as well as a flush draw for the win. However, the river brought the {k-Hearts}, giving Topol the win. Spinks dropped down to 220,000 after the hand, while Topol jumped up to 170,000.
