Sparks Wins Without Showing
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
The hand began with a raise by Benedict Cullen to 400,000 from early position. Cullen was called by Jonathan Sparks from the cutoff, and Alexander Savchenko called from the big blind.
The flop fanned out Q♥A♦7♥, which led to a round of checks from all three players.
Savchenko fired 255,000 on the 5♠ turn, which led to a fold from Cullen. Sparks called to take them to a river.
The 3♥ river saw a bet of 410,000 from Savchenko. Sparks took some time to weigh his decision before he called. Savchenko threw his hand into the muck as he conceded the hand. Sparks dragged in the chips and did not show his hand.
