Richard Hayes

Level 21 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jordan Buhagiar opened to 80,000 from the cutoff, and was met with a three-bet to 220,000 from Salvatore Incardona in the small blind.

Romain Gachet was in the big blind, and he cold-four bet to 400,000. Buhagiar called, and Incardona then five-bet jammed for 895,000 total. Gachet moved all-in and Buhagiar folded, in a crazy action hand.

Salvatore Incardona: K♥K♣ All in
Romain Gachet: K♠Q♠

Incardona had Gachet crushed, but the A♠9♠5♥ flop spelt danger, giving Gachet a flush draw.

The 3♦ turn was a brick, but the 2♠ hit on the river in brutal fashion to send a huge pot to Gachet.
