El Doble for Ricardo Sousa

Ricardo Sousa decided to take his chances with a one-overcard flush draw. On a flop of {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {J-Spades}, Sousa bet 2,600. His lone opponent raised to 7,500, but Sousa was undeterred and fired back another raise of his own, to 14,500. His opponent put in the fourth raise; when Sousa called, he was all in.

Sousa: {K-Spades} {3-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

Sousa didn't have to sweat long -- the {2-Spades} popped on the turn. The river {J-Diamonds} completed the board. After the hand, Sousa is up to about 60,000.
