Hand #103 - Luis Velador

Luis Velador has the button in Seat 3 and he raises to 100,000. Osmin Dardon announces a reraise and then makes it 300,000 to play. Anthony Signore folds and Velador announces "all in." Dardon quickly calls. The players show:

Velador: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Dardon: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}

The flop comes {J-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts} and draws the typical oohs and ahhs of an all in moment.

The turn fell the {10-Diamonds} leaving Dardon now drawing to a non-heart {A-?} {K-?} or {Q-?}

The river was the {9-Hearts} sealing the deal for Dardon. Velador's flush was best and Dardon is our 3rd place finisher. In addition to a round of applause from his supporters, he left with $243,734.
