Sach Steaming

In a battle of the blinds, the player in the small blind moved all in for his last 6,300 chips and Jim Sachinidis took a look down at his cards in the big blind. He saw pocket kings looking back at him, and he made an easy call to have his opponent in bad shape as he revealed {Q-?}{J-?}.

The flop of {6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} gave his opponent some hope and the {10-Clubs} fell on the turn like a dagger through the heart of Sachinidis to complete the straight for his opponent. The river was a meaningless {J-Clubs}, giving the small blind the pot and a double-up.

"I'm never coming back to Sydney ever again!" grumbled a steaming Sachinidis as he now sits with only 6,200 in chips.
