Chase Turnquest Not Deterred By The Spades

On a three-way limped pot, Chase Turnquest calls Jeong Hanyong's 400 bet on an all spade flop 9♠ T♠ 2♠ as the big blind drops off. Another spade comes on the turn K♠ and this time no bets land for the board to complete 3♠ . Hanyong checks once more, Turnquest takes a chance with a small 500 bet, and it's good enough to win the pot.
