Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Michael Casella
Michael Casella

Carlos Sanchez raised to 800 from early position, and Michael Casella three-bet to around 2,500 from the next seat. Sanchez called.

The flop fell 3♦A♦J♦, and Sanchez checked to Casella, who bet 600. Sanchez check-raised to 2,500, and Casella just called.

The board-pairing J♣ on the turn checked through before the 6♦ completed the board. Sanchez bet 2,500, and Casella quickly called.

Sanchez tabled 9♦8♦ for a flopped flush, but it was second best to Casella's Q♣Q♦, which had rivered the higher flush.
