Sahnan Hits Draw to Double Up
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
R.P. made it 11,000 to go in the hijack. Jack Jaeger called on the button, and Harish Sahnan and Steven Day did so in the blinds.
Sahnan and Day checked to R.P. on the J♠2♣10♥ flop. He placed a hefty bet of 33,000, sending Jaeger into the tank. Eventually, he let his hand go, prompting Sahnan to move all in for 51,500.
Day also got out of the way for R.P. to call with the covering stack.
Harish Sahnan: 9♥8♠ 
R.P.: Q♠Q♦
Sahnan's straight draw was completed on the 7♦ turn, leaving R.P. drawing dead. The 2♦ river was inconsequential as Sahnan raked in a big double-up to an above-average stack.
