Thomas Lefort Scoops a Monster Hand

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

With about 500,000 in the pot, on a board reading {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, Thomas Lefort was all in for his last 310,000 from under the gun, and Victor Wan called from middle position.

Lefort was at risk and tabled {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair, a flush draw and a straight draw. Wan had {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for a pair of jacks and needed to dodge a lot of cards to secure the pot and the elimination.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Lefort completed both a flush and a straight to lock up the double in a massive hand.

"You gotta dodge those to win these things, man," laughed Wan.
