Sandaev Takes the Lead
Level 14
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joe Sandaev and Albert Ng were heads-up from the blinds with over 100,000 already in the middle on a board of 7♣Q♦K♥3♥.
Sandaev bet 95,000 from the small blind and Ng tanked a bit in the big blind before sliding a stack that covered Sandaev into the middle. Sandaev quickly called all in for 287,000 to put himself at risk.
Joe Sandaev: K♣7♥
Albert Ng: K♠9♠
Sandaev held a commanding lead with kings-up and the 5♣ river changed nothing — shipping the tournament-leading pot to Sandaev while Ng was cut down to under 200,000.
