Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action went three-ways to a flop of 2♥9♥3♠ in a hand between Luke Richard in the cutoff, Michael Kaplitz in the small blind, and David Fernandez Sanchez in the big blind.

Kaplitz checked, Sanchez moved all in, and Richard called to put himself at risk for about 225,000 or so. Kaplitz got out of the way.

Luke Richard: 10♥9♦ All in
David Fernandez Sanchez: 5♥4♥

Richard was in the lead with his pair of tens but Sanchez had a plethora of outs with an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw.

Sanchez got there on the 6♥ turn, improving to a flush and the 6♣ river offered no help to Richard who was sent packing.
