Osmin Dardon - 3rd Place

Hand #103 - Luis Velador

Luis Velador has the button in Seat 3 and he raises to 100,000. Osmin Dardon announces a reraise and then makes it 300,000 to play. Anthony Signore folds and Velador announces "all in." Dardon quickly calls. The players show:

Velador: {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

Dardon:

{A-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

The flop comes {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and draws the typical oohs and ahhs of an all in moment.

The turn fell the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

leaving Dardon now drawing to a non-heart {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

or

{Q-?}

The river was the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

sealing the deal for Dardon. Velador's flush was best and Dardon is our 3rd place finisher. In addition to a round of applause from his supporters, he left with $243,734.
