It Takes Two to Tango

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Two of the area's most respected rounders just tangled over a sizable pot.

Andy Spears made it 1,200 from late position before Travell Thomas started talking.

"Oh, I'm gonna crack you," he said, making the call from the small blind.

Jason Nablo also called from the big blind and they went three-way to the {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop. Two checks were followed by a Spears bet of 2,000 which only Thomas called.

The turn came the {2-Spades} and Thomas check-called another 3,800 Spears bet. The river was the trend following {2-Diamonds} and after another check from Thomas, Spears fired a hefty 10,500.

"I think I have to fold my flush here man, and it sucks," Thomas said, tanking for a minute before eventually letting it go.
