Sanchez Is A "Lucky Bastard"

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Jose Gonzalez Sanchez open-jammed a stack of 2,200,000 Halil Tasyurek re-shoved in the small blind.

Jose Gonzalez Sanchez: A♦J♣
Halil Tasyurek: Q♠Q♣

Sanchez needed help and got some of it from the 7♣5♦J♦ flop with a pair of jacks. The 9♦ turn gave him additional outs with a flush draw, but it was the J♥ river that gave him the winner for a big double-up.

"I'm a lucky bastard," Sanchez said after the hand.
