{2-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

, Vakili checked to the button, who bet 1,400. The raises then went as follows:

Vakili: 4,400
Button: 9,400
Vakili: 24,400
Button: All In for about 28,000

Vakili made the call with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{8-Spades}

, the second nut flush draw, and found himself against {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

. The board blanked {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

, shipping a massive pot to the button and sending Vakili all the way down to 7,500.
