Big blind:
The big blind was ahead with top pair, but Spano had plenty of outs with his open ended straight draw and flush draw. The turn saw him pick up more outs as he paired his 10. Any seven, eight, ten, or diamond would give Spano the better hand.
"C'mon baby half way there," he said, pleading with the dealer and the poker gods for a good river. His wish was granted as the river hit the board, completing the flush for Spano, who scooped the pot to double up.
