On a heads-up flop of 7♣3♦8♠, Jason Lang led out for 25,000 but was then raised to 75,000 by Damien Gaston on the button. 

Lang scratched his head for a second but still slid out the proper chips to make the call and the two went to the turn A♠. Lang checked to Gaston who then announced he was all in, sending Lang into the tank. 

"Aghh, I knew I should have jammed the flop!" Lang groaned. "You show me if I fold?"

Gaston agreed that he would show him and Lang laid it down, showing pocket nines. Gaston then tapped the table to signal that he had made a good laydown and showed him pocket jacks while he was awarded the pot. 

Gaston - 280,000
Lang - 232,000
