Spinks Gets There

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Spinks moved all in from the cutoff for 111,000. Stanley Topel had control of the button and moved all in behind Spinks for 187,000. The blinds folded and the hands were turned face up.

Spinks: {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Topel: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Although Spinks was behind preflop, he turned the tables on the {9-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop. The turn {10-Clubs} and river {6-Clubs} were no help to Topel and he is left crippled while Spinks doubles to 240,000.
