, and all three men checked. When the turn card brought the {2-Spades}

, the big blind elected to lead out with a bet of 625. The raiser ducked out, but Fitzgerald quickly flicked in the calling chips. The river revealed the {8-Hearts}

, and the big blind fired again, 1,500 this time. Without any pause, Fitzgerald called again, and his opponent instantly mucked his hand. Alex turned over {A-Spades}
