Sandaev Doubles Through Tanaka
Level 22
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Kei Tanaka raised to 300,000 from early position and was three-bet to 800,000 by Michael Egan in the hijack. Joe Sandaev then shoved for his last 1,675,000 on the button and Tanaka went in as well for more.
Egan got out of the way and a showdown was held.
Joe Sandaev: 10♦10♥
Kei Tanaka: A♣K♦
It was a race for Sandaev's tournament life, and the 3♦4♦10♠J♣2♣ runout left Sandaev best with a set of tens to award him the double up.
Tanaka, meanwhile, was knocked down to 2,250,000 to become one of the short stacks.
