Jacob Flasterstein opened to 10,000 in early position and Jeff Platt three-bet to 27,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Flasterstein who called and two players too the flop.

The flop of {7-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} saw Flasterstein check to Platt who continued for 15,000. Flasterstein responded by raising to 45,000 which Platt quickly called.

The turn came a {7-Diamonds} and saw Flasterstein move all-in for 98,500 which Platt snap-called and the hands were tabled.

Jacob Flasterstein: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Jeff Platt: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Platt had flopped a set of jacks and turned a full house which had Flasterstein in dire straights. The river {6-Spades} did nothing to help the ace-queen and Platt's chip stack shot to the top of the room.
