Spano Rivers a Flush to Double Up

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action was picked up on the {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop with around 170,000 in the pot.

Kirk Spano led out with a jam for 290,000 from the cutoff. His opponent, the big blind, made the call with Spano covered.

Kirk Spano: {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Big blind: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The big blind was ahead with top pair, but Spano had plenty of outs with his open ended straight draw and flush draw. The {10-Hearts} 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 {j-Diamonds} river hit the board, completing the flush for Spano, who scooped the pot to double up.
