Martin Comer Flushes Opponent Right Out of the Room

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

After getting all of the chips in the middle preflop, Martin Comer flipped up his {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and was hoping for a coin flip situation at worst. When he saw the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} held by his opponent, Comer figured a chop was in the cards.

Flop: {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Comer had picked up two spades on the flop, and although a split pot was still a statistical likelihood, he was now freerolling for the entire pot.

Turn: {2-Spades}

Comer was now just one spade away from eliminating his opponent in the most agonizing way a poker player can imagine. Both players waited for the dealer to burn and turn the river card.

River: {4-Spades}

When the fourth spade hit the board, the entire table exploded in excited conversation while the dejected opponent hit the rail in a stunned stupor.
