Rice Doubles Up in the Blinds

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The action folded to Declan Rice in the small blind, who shoved his last 2,100,000 chips in the middle. Vincent Sanchez was in the big blind with a covering stack and snap called once he looked at his cards.

Declan Rice: {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Vincent Sanchez: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Rice was behind and feared for his tournament life, but that all changed when the flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{k-Hearts}, granting rice top pair. Sanchez still had outs to a better pair, as well as a gutshot to Broadway, but neither came in on the {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} runout.

Rice and Sanchez almost exactly swapped stacks as play continues.
