Andreas Hagen Doubles Through Philip Russo

Andreas Hagen moves all in preflop with {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, but he'll need to improve to survive against Philip Russo's {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The flop comes {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and Hagen is sitting pretty with middle pair, a flush draw, and plenty of outs. The turn card is the {6-Diamonds}, and Hagen takes the lead with a diamond flush. Russo has a higher diamond, so he has outs to a higher flush. But the last card pairs the board with the {3-Hearts}, and Hagen wins the pot to double up to about 68,000 in chips. Russo drops down to about 60,000.

As a side note, the player in seat 9 informs everyone that he folded pocket threes preflop to the all-in -- he would have made quads.
