Sagra Saved by the River
With roughly 150,000 in the pot, Ignacio Sagra, Joao Simao and Ryan Riess were looking at a board of 8♠5♠3♦.
Sagra checked from the small blind, which prompted Simao to place a bet of 40,000. Riess then responded with a raise to 120,000, before seeing Sagra check-raise all-in for 310,000. Simao got out of the way, and Riess went into the tank. After taking some time to think the hand through, Riess made the call.
Ignacio Sagra: J♠10♠ 
Ryan Riess: A♦9♦
Riess had made the hero-call with just ace-high and was correct, but there were several cards he needed to avoid.
The turn 6♦ kept Riess in the lead, and gave him a flush draw of his own, but the river J♥ was just what Sagra was looking for, his top pair giving him the best hand.
Sagra's stack was double-checked before the dealer pushed the huge double-up in his direction.
