Ketteringham Flushes Opponent in Raising War

In a battle of the blinds Mark Ketteringham raised it up to 2,000 from the small blind, before the player in the big blind reraised to 6,000. Ketteringham then popped it up once again to 12,000 before the big blind made another min-raise to 18,000 in total. Ketteringham then decided to finally move it all in and the big blind called.

Ketteringham held {A-Spades}{J-Spades} but trailed the pocket tens of his opponent. The board ran out {Q-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{K-Spades} to make Ketteringham a flush to bust his opponent and move to 45,000 in chips.
