Conway Conned

We found Thomas Conway calling the all in of one of the short stacks at his table for 43,500 with {K-}{K-}. The short stack wasn't fooling around and held {A-Spades}{K-Spades} unfortunately for him ace king is not a good hand against pocket kings.

The dealer turned over the cards and the first three came out {J-}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades} giving Conway's opponent Broadway and a nut flush draw. The {8-Spades} sealed the deal as Conway's opponent hit his flush. The meaningless {10-} on the river was irrelevant and Conway shipped over 43,500 of his chips to his opponent.
