Carlos Sanchez took dealer's choice to the actual dealer, and asked him to pick the game from a blind draw.
He won the first hand, then got into a three-way hand for his tournament life on the next.
Sanchez followed Robert Galbraith's all-in with his own, and was called by Sergio Benso.
Robert Galbraith: A♦J♥10♠8♣3♠
Carlos Sanchez: K♦K♠J♣9♣2♠
Sergio Benso: A♥A♠J♠9♥5♥
Sanchez was prepared to walk away from the table when he saw the ace on the river, before it was pointed out that he had hit a backdoor jack-high flush on that board, so he split the side pot with Benso.
Galbraith stayed alive in the event, splitting the main pot with Sanchez by winning the bottom board with a ten-high straight.
