Rollercoaster of Emotions as Izquierdo Busts Cuesta
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mikael Darwich opened 5,000 in the cutoff before Francisco Izquierdo three-bet 17,000 from the small blind. Ignacio Cuesta jammed for roughly 60,000 from the big blind, putting Darwich in the tank. After giving it some thought, he tossed his cards into the muck and Izquierdo made the call.
Ignacio Cuesta: A♣K♦ 
Francisco Izquierdo: J♠J♣
It was the classic race as the dealer spread the flop of J♦10♠2♦, giving Izquierdo a set of jacks. The Q♥ fell on the turn, improving Cuesta to Broadway as he gained the lead but the J♥ river gave Izquierdo quads, sending Cuesta to the rail.
