Cage Fades the Spade
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mark Egbert began the action with an open to 4,000 from early position before Thomas Cage made the call from the cutoff. Nicholas Scriabine called on the button. Aaron Overton and Adam Duong called from the small and big blind, respectively.
It checked to Cage on the 10♠3♠6♠ flop before he went all-in for 86,500. Scriabine called to put Cage at risk while the rest of the table folded.
Thomas Cage: J♥J♠
Nicholas Scriabine: A♠10♦
Cage was ahead with his pocket jacks, but Scriabine held the better flush draw and had the ace working for him with the turn and river still to come.
The 3♣ turn was no threat to Cage's lead, and the Q♣ river sealed the deal in Cage's favor as he notched the double up.
