Spanne Wins a Flip the Hard Way
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Kevin Andriamahefa opened from under the gun and when the action got around to Joseph Spanne in the big blind, he put in a sizable three-bet. Andriamahefa then shoved for around 40,000, and Spanne took a few seconds before he called.
Kevin Andriamahefa: A♠K♠ 
Joseph Spanne: J♥J♠
Andriamahefa needed to improve and certainly would have been pleased to see the 7♠K♥4♠ flop, which gave him top pair and a flush draw. Despite the flop going go swimmingly for Andriamahefa, the J♣ turn dragged him into deep waters as Spanne improved to a set.
Nothing changed on the 8♥ river, and Andriamahefa stood up from his chair and marched towards the exit.
