Spades for Shaniac

Stud

"Okay, last one then we go to hi/lo," said the dealer as she dealt the last hand of the Stud (high only) round.

Sabyl Cohen brought it in with the {3-Diamonds}, a player with the {6-Clubs} showing raised, Annie Duke (who had an ace up) folded, another player with a {K-Spades} showing called, as did Shane Schleger with the {9-Clubs}.

By the end, it would just be Schleger and the player with the king. Schleger's opponent would pair his king on fifth street, yet Schleger kept betting into him to the end as he drew (X)(X){9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}(X). "I'll pay you off," said Schleger's opponent as he called on the end, and Schleger turned over his down cards -- {4-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for the club flush. Schleger is up to 20,000.
