Casagrande Flops Flush for Vital Double
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Harry Casagrande had check-raised hijack Philip Pearson's bet of 140,000 to an all-in of 355,000 from the small blind on a A♠9♠J♠ flop. Pearson spent some time in the tank before he called off to put Casagrande at risk.
Harry Casagrande: 8♠7♣5♦4♠ 
Philip Pearson: A♥K♠J♥10♥
Pearson turned more outs with the K♥, but the 5♥ river did not pair the board, doubling up Casagrande two away from the money.
