Chang Has The Winning Spade

by Tricia David • January 14, 2026 - 6:50 AM

Three players remained by the turn 10 ♠️ 5 ♥️ 3 ♠️ 7 ♠️ with 9,000 up for grabs. Out of the big blind, Piet Pape bet 6,500 and the three-way stayed intact with Justin Chan and Yi Ho Chang both tossing in the call. 

With another spade on the board, the J ♠️ on the river, everyone stayed cautious and checked. 

Pape had : 3d: 3 ♠️ set but was still denied the pot with Chang flipping over 8 ♠️ 7 ♦️ flush.
