"It's Proven: Spades Get There Less"
No-Limit Hold'em
With around 40,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, Mike Wattel checked from the big blind and Brandon Cantu bet 19,000 from early position. Wattel responded with a check-raise to 45,000 only to have Cantu three-bet to 115,000. Wattel shrugged before moving all in for 231,500 and Cantu couldn't call fast enough.
Cantu: 
Wattel: 
Cantu seemed surprised to see Wattel roll over a set, but not nearly as surprised as when the 
turn and 
river missed his hand. Cantu was up out of his seat and voicing his discontent to no one in particular.
"I can't stand spades," he bemoaned. "My least favorite suit."
"It is proven," Greg "FBT" Mueller said as he watched the pot being pushed. "Spades get there less."
It was funny, but no one dared laugh while Cantu vented.
