BOOM!
"All in and a call!" yelled the dealer over at table 240 in the Brasilia room. Mark Landgraf was all in holding A
Q
against Alexander Yaroshetskiy's A
J
. With a dominating position in the hand, Landgraf improved to trip queens on the flop of K
Q
Q
. Yaroshetskiy did pick up a royal flush draw though. The turn hit the Q
, giving Landgraf quads and leaving Yaroshetskiy drawing to only one out. The poker gods must have been looking down on Yaroshetskiy today because the T
landed on the river giving him the royal flush! The table erupted and one player even fell back out of his chair as he was leaning back in it. Yaroshetskiy is now up to 240,000 and Landgraf dropped all the way to 14,300.
