Hatch Prays for Hold Against Prager
On a multi-way flop of Q♠10♠4♣, Michael Vela led out for 15k from the small blind, before Todd Hatch stood up and announced that he was all in for 51,000. After some thought, Josh Prager let the table now that he too was all in, this time for 94,500.
Vela then went deep into the tank, as he came out with "If I still had my other bullet I would snap-call!" He shook his head before showing the table that he was holding A♦Q♦ before throwing it into the muck. "I hope you've got a flush draw", said Hatch, and his hopes came true as the cards were tabled.
Todd Hatch: Q♣2♠ 
Josh Prager: A♠9♠
Vela continued to shake his head as he realised that he had folded the best hand, however he quickly changed his tune when the dealer put out the 2♦ on the turn.
"HOLD, BABY, HOLD!" shouted Hatch, and the brick 3♥ river did exactly that, as he raked in a double up, and then some.
