Alston Snaps Off Hess

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

In a blind vs. blind confrontation, James Hess raised to 90,000 and Gregory Alston called.

The flop brought {4-Spades}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Hess check-called a 125,000 bet from Alston. The turn came the {5-Clubs} and both players checked. However, when the {A-Hearts} completed the board, Hess quickly led out for 190,000. Alston tanked for a while, but then announced, "Call."

"Jack-high." Hess muttered.

Alston flipped over {8-Spades}{5-Spades} for a pair of queens and fives and Hess revealed {J-Spades}{9-Spades} and said, "I wish a spade had come!"
