Sparks Avoids Going Broke

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Shawn Sparks in late position was in a pot against Donald Boyer on a board reading {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and called a flop bet from his opponent.

Boyer continued with a bet of 6,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn with around 25,000 already in the middle. Sparks called.

Boyer fired again with a bet of 6,000 on the {j-Clubs} river and Sparks signed before calling.

"You got aces?" asked Sparks.

Boyer did have aces and. turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, while Sparks showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Sparks likely lost the minimum as he had flopped a big hand with both the nut flush draw and top pair-top kicker.

"Thank goodness I didn't shove the flop," he said. "Anybody else goes broke there."
