Angel Fernandez Flops a Flush to Eliminate William Haggerty

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Angel Fernandez raised to 8,500 under the gun and William Haggerty went all in for 41,500 from the big blind. Fernandez thought for more than a minute and then called to put Haggerty at risk.

Haggerty: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Fernandez: {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Haggerty's queens had a commanding lead, but the flop came {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, giving Fernandez a flush. It also gave Haggerty a set of queens, but he couldn't catch up on the {2-Diamonds} turn or the {6-Spades} river, and Haggerty was eliminated.

"I knew when you called I was dead," Haggerty said after the hand. "Never mess with the guy with chips," he added, and made his exit.
