Lots of Spades, No Flush.

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action was opened to 40,000 in middle position by Aden Anzio. It folded to a player in the small blind who called and the big blind defended.

The J♠Q♥10♠ flop was about as connected as you could ask for and action was checked to Anzio who still put out a continuation bet of 55,000. Just the small blind called.

The 9♦ then landed putting a four-liner on the board. The small blind thought it over for a moment and then opted to lead out for 100,000. Anzio called.

The 10♦ landed on the river pairing the board and the small blind slowed back down and checked. Anzio went through his options for a moment but eventually knuckled it back.

The small blind rolled over 5♠6♠ for a missed flush draw and Anzio rolled over 9♠7♠ for a missed straight flush draw and a pair of nines.

Minimum blood was drawn on this hand but a river spade could've been ugly. Anzio scooped and chipped up.
