Spets gets paid off with his big call


On a board showing 5 J 8 K and a possible big pot brewing in the middle, Roger Spets raised the big blind player’s bet from 1050 to 3075. Not long after, the bb player shoved his healthy 14K chip stack but Spets was not going anywhere, instead he matched it up. Spets showed A J for mid pair against his opponent’s 7 9 gut shot straight-flush draw. With the river landing 3, Spets won the hefty pot and sent one to the rail.
