BOOM!

On one of the very first hands of the day, Mark Landgraf was crushed in dramatic fashion. According to Landgraf, this is how the hand went down.

Landgraf's opponent, Alexander Yaroshetskiy, raised to 1,200 preflop and Landgraf called. The flop came down {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. Yaroshetskiy bet 5,000 into Landgraf and he called.

The turn added another lady to the party with the {Q-Spades}. Yaroshetskiy fired out 10,000 and Landgraf called.

The river brought the {10-Hearts} and Yaroshetskiy bet a hefty 20,000. Landgraf shoved and his opponent snap-called. Landgraf was happy to roll over {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} for quad queens. Yaroshetskiy however, was holding a superior hand, {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, for the royal flush. The table erupted and one player even fell back out of his chair as he was leaning back in it.

Yaroshetskiy is now up to 240,000 and Landgraf dropped all the way to 15,000.
