Alberdi Spikes the River to Double Through Spragg
Jorge Alberdi completed from the small blind, and Benjamin Spragg made it 7,000 out of the big blind. Alberdi called to a see a flop.
Alberdi knuckled the action over to Spragg on the 4♠J♣3♠ flop, and Spragg put out a continuation-bet of 6,000. Alberdi chose to check-raise to 14,000, and Spragg continued in the form of a call.
When an A♠ landed on the turn, the remaining 20,000 of Alberdi got into the middle, and Spragg had a chance to send him home.
Jorge Alberdi: J♠10♦ 
Benjamin Spragg: A♥10♣
Spragg had taken the lead with a pair of aces on the turn, and only a spade or jack would keep Alberdi in his seat.
The dealer burned a card and then delivered the 10♠ on the river, to give both players two pair. However, Alberdi also improved to a flush to win the pot.
Alberdi doubled up and Spragg was left with around 60,000.
