Spades Dig Ved Into a Short Stack

Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Adam Saven raised from the button to 50,000 and Kartik Ved three-bet to 140,000 out of the big blind. Saven called.
An all-spade flop of K?8?3? was seen by both players, and Ved continued with a bet of 40,000. Saven made the call.
The 9? turn went check-check and a fifth spade, the 7?, fell on the river. Ved bet 35,000 and Saved quickly called.
Ved flipped over A?K? but Saven had the winner holding 5?5? for a slightly bigger flush
