Sanchez Sent to Exit After Brutal River; T.P. Grabs Overwhelming Lead
Alejandro Sanchez raised to 3,600 in middle position, and T.P. three-bet to 9,600 in the cutoff. Sanchez responded with a four-bet to 29,600, which T.P. called after some thought.
Sanchez continued for 22,000 on the 8♥Q♦8♦ flop, and T.P. obliged with a call. Sanchez then fired a huge shove on the 7♠ turn, moving all in for 130,000.
T.P. spent some minutes in the tank before the clock was called. Near the end of his countdown, he made the call with the covering stack.
Alejandro Sanchez: K♦K♣
T.P.: 10♥10♦
Sanchez was a big favorite to win the pot, but T.P. hit one of his two outs on the 10♠ river. Gasps were heard from the other players at the table and the gathered spectators as a stunned Sanchez headed to the rail.
T.P., meanwhile, raked in the giant pot and ended with a stack of nearly 250 big blinds.
