[user38449]

Bo Sehlstedt has the button in seat 4. David Paul Steicke opened the pot with a min-raise from under the gun, making it 12,000 to go. Next to act is Emad Tahtouh who re-raises to 35,000. The action folds back around to Steicke who makes the call, leaving himself 19,000 behind.

The flop comes {4-Spades}

and Steicke shoves his last 19,000 into the middle; Emad makes the call.

Tahtouh: {Q-Hearts}

popped off on the turn, giving Steicke nine additional outs to a flush on the turn, meaning he needed to catch a spade or an ace on the river to stay alive. The river - the {3-Spades}
