Richard Hayes

Level 26 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Domenico Lando opened to 320,000 from the cutoff, and Manuel Janas three-bet jammed for 1,000,000, and Lando called.

Manuel Janas: A♦Q♦ All in
Domenico Lando: Q♠9♠

Lando was dominated, and Janas was shouting for the hold.

However the 10♦8♠2♠ flop brought his opponent a flush draw, and although the 3♦ turn was a brick, Lando binked the 5♠ river, much to Janas' disappointment.
