With the board showing JsJh9d5h on the turn and about 260K already in the pot, Denis Mendoza bet 100,000 from UTG+1, Matias Morana moved all in from the button for 670,000, and Mendoza thought for a while before he called with Qd9h for two pair, jacks and nines.

Morana turned over Kh10h for a heart flush draw with a gutshot straight draw, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The river card was the 7h, and Morana won the pot with his king-high flush to double up in chips.

Matias Morana  –  1,600,000  (64 bb)
Denis Mendoza  –  1,825,000  (73 bb)
