Aces Fail Meinders

David "ODB" Baker raised to 36,000 from under the gun, and it folded over to Jonathan Schoder on the button who reraised to 84,000. It then folded to Brian Meinders in the big blind who pushed all in for about 200,000. Baker stepped aside, but Schoder was there with the quick call.

Schoder showed {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}, while Meinders appeared destined to double with {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}. But the community cards brought a bunch of spades — coming {2-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{J-Spades}{2-Diamonds} — giving Schoder a flush and sending Meinders out.
