Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Joseph Baghdalian opened to 125,000 from under the gun before Jared Russell made the call from middle position. Eric Ethans came along for the ride out of the big blind to create a three-handed pot.

The 3♦9♣5♦ flop led to an all-in from Ethans for 1,105,000. Baghdalian called, and Russell also called to put himself at risk for approximately 700,000.

Jared Russell: 10♦9♦All in
Eric Ethans: J♦6♦All in
Joseph Baghdalian: Q♥Q♠

Russell had a top pair plus a flush draw, but his flush draw was no good since Ethans had a higher draw. Baghdalian was trying to hold with his queens.

The 2♠ turn was a brick to keep Baghdalian in the lead.

Ethans would find his diamond when the Q♦ peeled to upgrade him to a flush and scoop the pot.
