Sanchez Wins a Massive Flip
Level 14
: Blinds 1,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jacobo Nieder three-bet to 17,000 on the button before Jose Maria Sanchez four-bet to 42,000 in the cutoff. Nieder then moved all in, and Sanchez called for 200,000.
Jose Maria Sanchez: Q♣Q♥ 
Jacobo Nieder: A♠K♦
It was a classic flip with 400,000 at stake, and the flop came J♥10♣9♦ to give Nieder more outs to a straight. The turn was the 9♥, while the Q♠ fell on the river. Sanchez reacted as if he had lost the pot as Nieder hit his straight before realizing he had improved to a full house, earning him the massive double up that put him among the chip leaders.
