A Spear Through Iles

We caught up with the action on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} to find Jordan Spear bet out only to have Matt Iles plop down a significantly large stack of green t25,000 chips into the middle to raise. Spear announced all in and Iles turned up his cards and called:

Iles: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Spear: {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

Neither player had a four but both had a high diamond draw. Spear had the better diamond but was behind at this stage in the hand. The {5-Spades} fell on the turn.

"Come on!" shouted Spear. The river was the {4-Diamonds} fulfilling Spear's nut flush and awarding him a double up.
