Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Aaron Massey raised to 300 from the cutoff and was called by Kathy Sawers in the big blind.

They both checked through the {a-Spades} on the turn to the {6-Diamonds} on the river. Sawers now bet 500 and Massey needed some time to think through his options.

"Do you have the six?" Massey asked Sawers. Sawers didn't respond.

"If you did have that, that would suck." Massey said and then folded after a while.
