Blanco Wins the Race

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Lucas Blanco has been cruising through the day and it shows with the number of chips he has in front of him. Blanco recently got involved in a hand with an opponent where they got all the chips in the middle preflop. His opponent looked to be all-in for roughly 210,000 and held {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} vs Blanco's {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and his opponent took the lead in the hand. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river landed the {J-Hearts} giving Blanco a set. His opponent let out a big "Nooooo!" loud enough for the whole room to hear and making some people jump out of their seats. Blanco quietly stacked his chips and went about his business.
