Jeffrey Chang

Jeffrey Chang raised to 15,000 from the button and got a call from the player sitting UTG+2 before Frank Loffreno pushed all-in from the hijack seat for what amounted to exactly a min-raise, allowing Chang to re-raise all-in to get UTG+2 out of the hand.

Chang: A♠3♠   Loffreno: A♥J♣

Flop: Q♣10♠9♣
Turn: 3♥
River: 2♦

Loffreno had Chang dominated on the flop. He already had the higher kicker, and could now knock Chang out of the hand by pairing his Jack or by hitting a King or Eight to make a straight. Instead, two low cards came out, one of which gave Chang the winning pair.
