A Spade is a Spade

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

When we arrived at the table, the board read {2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}. Ty Reiman had a raise of 5,200 in front of him, and Brandon Meyers, who we assume bet out, had a three-bet of 9,200 sitting in front of him.

"All in," Reiman announced, shoving for effectively 30,750.

There was a beat, and Meyers made the call.

Meyers: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Reiman: {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Meyers was looking for a spade to double, but he picked up six more outs when the {2-Hearts} turned. Now, any ace or jack would counterfeit Reiman's two pair. Meyers didn't hit one of his six new outs, but he did hit a spade when the {k-Spades} completed the board, making his spade flush. He doubled to around 65,000 chips, while Reiman was left with just 23,500.
