Miss One Draw, Make the Other

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

Acting from the small blind, Ty Purnell fired a bet of 6,000 into an already large pot with the board reading {2-Spades}{q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} by the turn.

His lone opponent in the hand decided to see the river and he flatted the bet, watching as the {10-Clubs} rained down.

Purnell immediately moved all in for his last 16,000 or so, and after two minutes of intense concentration, his opponent made the call to put nearly the same amount at risk. When he saw Purnell roll over the {j-Spades}{9-Spades} for a missed spade flush draw, the other player briefly appeared to think the pot was his, but the dealer's succinct announcement of "Straight!" told him the score. His last chips were sent across the table just before the impending break.
