Sitzes' Spades Score Scoop

After a preflop betting war was waged, Ralph Sitzes, defending champ Keith Heine, and another player got it all in the middle, with Heine covering.

Player 1: Q♦9♦ All in
Ralph Sitzes: 8♠8♣ All in
Keith Heine: A♦K♦

Sitzes was in the lead with his pocket pair, but the flop of 9♠3♠6♥ gave the upper hand to Player 1 with her pair of nines.

However, the turn and river 6♠4♠ gave Sitzes a running flush to scoop the entire pot, eliminating player 1.
