Ethans Scoops; Russell Busts

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Joseph Baghdadlian opened to 125,000 from under the gun before Jared Russell made the call from middle position. Eric Ethans came along for the ride out of the big blind to create a three-handed pot.

The 395 flop led to an all-in from Ethans for 1,105,000. Baghdadlian called, and Russell also called to put himself at risk for approximately 700,000.

Jared Russell: 109All in
Eric Ethans: J6All in
Joseph Baghdadlian: QQ

Russell had a top pair plus a flush draw, but his flush draw was no good since Ethans had a higher draw. Baghdadlian was trying to hold with his queens.

The 2 turn was a brick to keep Baghdadlian in the lead.

Ethans would find his diamond when the Q peeled to upgrade him to a flush and scoop the pot.
