After a preflop betting war, all the chips found their way into the middle between Daniel Gagne, Alon Messica, and another player, with Messica covering.

Alon Messica: Club JDiamond J

Messica starts off ahead in this matchup, but the flop of Heart 5Club 3Club Q gives the lead to his opponent with ace-queen. But that’s not the winner of this hand, as the Spade 7 peels off on the turn to give Gagne a big lead with a set of sevens. 

Only a jack on the river will save Messica, but the Diamond Q only adds insult to injury as it gives the player trip queens but improves Gagne to a full house, scooping the pot. 

“That’s just my luck, start off in first, end up in third,” Messica sighs, shaking his head. 

Daniel Gagne – 235,000 (94 bb)
