Ignacio Sanchez raised to 3,500 from early position and was called by the player in the hijack and Cliff Josephy on the button.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Sanchez continued with a bet of 5,000. The player in the hijack called but Josephy raised to 22,000. Sanchez was the only one willing to call.

The turn brought them the {8-Clubs}, Sanchez checked, and Josephy bet 36,000. Sanchez responded with a shove which sent Josephy into the tank. The ESPN camera crew noticed the hand and swarmed the table. After a while, Josephy folded.

Sanchez showed {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the turned flush and raked in the pot which takes him to the top of the chip counts with quite a big lead.
