Soheb Porbandarwala fired a bet of 42,000 in early position and Roger Lussier called on the button. Modica took some time before check-raising all in for 302,000.
Porbandarwala stuck in the call and Lussier got out of the way.
Angel Modica: 5♥5♦ 
Soheb Porbandarwala: A♣2♣
Porbandarwala flopped a flush, but Modica spiked the J♦ turn to make a full house. The 2♠ river completed the board, as Modica doubled up through Porbandarwala.
