Spriggs Gets There on the Turn to Double Off Givens

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

"How does Hellmuth do it?" Rodney Spriggs said as he splashed in his last 11,800 from the button on a flop of 2♠8♦J♦.

"I have this. What do you want me to do if you guys check to me?" Spriggs added as he held up the dealer button. The table folded around to Grant Givens in the big blind, and he called to put Spriggs at risk.

Rodney Spriggs: 10♦6♦ All in
Grant Givens: J♥5♦

Givens was ahead with top pair, while Spriggs had a flush draw. The Q♦ turn gave Spriggs his flush, and he secured the double up after the A♥ river.

"I'm a luck box. What do you want?" Spriggs said.
