Frank Lagodich raised to 8,000 from UTG+1, and was called by the cutoff and the button, before Ian Richardson three-bet to 32,000 from the small blind. Lagodich and the button both called.

The flop hit the felt, and Richardson tanked for a bit before simply jamming for 250,000. Lagodich thought for about a minute before calling off for 177,000, and the button folded.

Lagodich:
Richardson:

Lagodich’s flush draw was behind the aces of Richardson, but the turn actually gave Lagodich a few more outs with a gutshot, while taking the away as an out.

The binked on the river to complete Lagodich’s flush, and just like that Lagodich vaults up to the top of the leaderboard in the waning minutes of Day 1C.

Frank Lagodich - 460,000 (115 bb)
Ian Richardson - 73,000 (18 bb)
