Ace on the River for Holder

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Multiple players saw a flop of {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The first player to act bet 19,000. He was quickly raised to 55,000 on his immediate left by Brandon Holder. The third player in the hand took a while to fold but eventually got rid of his cards and the next player folded quickly. The original bettor hesitated for a moment before calling the bet which was enough to put him all in.

Both players were on draws by Holder had the superior one with the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} against the {9-Spades}{2-Spades} of his opponent. The turn was the {9-Hearts} to but the at risk player ahead but the {a-Clubs} on the river killed the brief hope as it gave Holder the best hand and eliminated the all in player.
