Spears Human After All

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Andy Spears
Andy Spears

Andy Spears won two Main Events here at the Seneca Niagara Falls Casino & Hotel in the past nine months, but he will not make it a third. Pete Kaemmerlen opened to 3,100 from under the gun and action folded around to Spears in the big blind. He shoved for around 17,000, and Kaemmerlen called.

Spears: {8-Hearts}{8-}
Kaemmerlen: {A-}{10-}

Spears increased his lead to 83% when the {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop added a flush draw to his hand, and it looked like he'd survive when the {7-Clubs} hit the turn. But the {Q-Spades} on the river improved Kaemmerlen to Broadway, sending Spears to the rail.
