Spades Aplenty

James Copher and an unknown player were involved in a big confrontation moments ago, resulting in one of them parting ways with their entire chip stack. Here's how it went down:

With about 1,000 chips already in the pot, the flop brought {10-Spades} {A-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Copher bet out 800, and his opponent quickly called. Fourth street came the {3-Spades}, and Copher flicked a single gray T5,000 chip into the middle, betting the full amount. His opponent moved all in for just a couple thousand more, and Copher instantly called, having his man covered.

"You got a flush?" asked the opponent.

Showdown:
Copher: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}

"Oh wow," said the all in player, preparing himself for the deciding river card.

Much to his chagrin, the {6-Spades} peeled off, giving Copher the top flush and sending one more player to the rail.
