Sande Drops the Hammer

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

The turned board read {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and there was around 12,000 in the pot. A player led out for 4,000, finding one caller before the action fell on Leonard Sande who bumped it up to 16,700.

The original better folded and his other opponent called to see the {3-Clubs} river card. Action checked to Sande on the river and he fired in 60,000.

His opponent snap-called for their remaining 54,000 and Sande tabled {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a turned straight. His opponent mucked and Sande took down the pot, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.
