The last match in the Spades Bracket was the match at the feature table between Doyle Brunson and Jennifer Tilly. They moved in all the chips pre-flop, with Tilly at risk of elimination. She had a slight lead in the hand, tabling {k-Clubs}{2-Spades} against Brunson's {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Yet it was Brunson who connected with the flop, {q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Tilly never made a hand better than king-high, as the turn {9-Diamonds} and {q-Diamonds} ended her tournament in the first round.
