Sang Hits Trips and Doubles Up
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded around to Ryan Sang, who pushed all in from the button for 540,000. Khazret Nebezhev moved all in from the small blind with slightly more and players turned over their cards.
Ryan Sang: A♥8♥
Khazret Nebezhev: A♦K♣
Nebezhev had Sang dominated, but the board ran out Q♥3♦8♠8♦K♦.
Sang made a pair of eights on the flop and trips on the turn, the king on the river serving only to rub salt in the wounds of Nebezhev as his stack was reduced to just 120,000. Sang, meanwhile, doubled up to over 1,000,000.
