The action folded around to Attilio Bitondo in the hijack and he opened for 7 times the big blind - making it 68,000 to play. Holding the button, Mike Sandler flatted the big overbet and both players watched as Michael Forca three-bet jammed for 86,000 on top.

After making such a large opening raise, Bitondo held onto his hand for a long moment, studying Sandler while contemplating his options. Eventually though, he released his hand and Sandler quickly called to put Forca at risk.

Sandler: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Forca: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Both players had found premium hands to work with and they were off to the races, but Forca finished last when the board came down {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

He earned $4,516 for the 7th place finish, while Sandler continued to dominate as the Day 1 chip leader attempts to put on a wire-to-wire performance.
