Wakeman Gets Paid With the Nuts

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Action was on the turn with a board of {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Matt Wakeman led out with a bet of 11,500. He was facing off against Luke Lewis who decided to raise. Lewis made it 23,000 and Wakeman didn't waste much time shoving all in for 2,300 more, a total of 25,300. Lewis thought took a bit before he called.

Matt Wakeman: {A-Spades}{4-Spades}
Luke Lewis: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Wakeman couldn't be beaten as Lewis was drawing dead so the {A-Clubs} on the river was just a formality. With that, Lewis sent over the chips and Wakeman doubled to right around 70,000.
