Sanchez Is A "Lucky Bastard"

Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Jose Gonzalez Sanchez open-jammed a stack of 2,200,000 Halil Tasyurek re-shoved in the small blind.
Jose Gonzalez Sanchez: A?J?
Halil Tasyurek: Q?Q?
Sanchez needed help and got some of it from the 7?5?J? flop with a pair of jacks. The 9? turn gave him additional outs with a flush draw, but it was the J? river that gave him the winner for a big double-up.
"I'm a lucky bastard," Sanchez said after the hand.
