A Brutal Exit for Ta

Napoleon Ta was all in for about 130,000 before the flop holding {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}, and he was looked up by big stack Conrad Monica who turned over the matching {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}. The two men appeared to be poised for a chop.

The flop drew a big reaction from the table though, coming down {J-Spades} {2-Spades} {Q-Spades} to give Ta the flush draw. The turn {J-Clubs} was a blank, but the {10-Spades} that hit the river was not. With four spades on board, Monica made the winning ace-high flush, knocking out Napoleon Ta in the most brutal of ways. Monica, on the other hand, has surged toward the top of the board with 425,000.
