Set for Sands

Level 2 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

David Sands raised to 8,000 from under the gun, Phil Galfond called from the button and Doug Polk three-bet to 30,500 from the small blind. Both Sands and Galfond called and the flop came down {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Polk checked over to Sands who bet 38,000. Galfond folded, Polk called and the {J-Diamonds} turn fell. Another check from Polk led to another bet from Sands, this one being 134,000. After a few moments Polk called to see the {Q-Hearts} river which both players checked.

Sands tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} a set of eights, Polk mucked and Sands collected the pot.
