Sbrzesny Flushes Mendelsohn For Double Up

When we came to the table, Bodo Sbrzesny was making some very painful faces, as clearly he was in the middle of a tough decision. He was in a blind vs blind situation with Peter Mendelsohn, and the board read {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Mendelsohn had gone all in, having Sbrzesny covered, and Sbrzesny was deep in the tank. After talking out the hand to himself for about two minutes, he made the call.

Sbrzesny: {j-Spades}{7-Spades}
Mendelsohn: {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The turn card provided all the action, giving Mendelsohn two pair and Sbrzesny a flush draw. Needing a jack, seven, or spade, the {3-Spades} hit the river, giving Sbrzesny the double up and crippling Mendelsohn
