Cortada Leaves Sandev on Fumes
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The rest of the table was already heading on break as Manuel Cortada raised to 20,000 in early position. Georgi Sandev then three-bet to 60,000 in the hijack and Cortada called.
The flop came 7♥3♣2♥ and Sandev continued for 26,000. Cortada called and the 7♦ fell on the turn.
Sandev then bet 55,000 and Cortada again called. The river was the 2♣ and Sandev bet 200,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Cortada tanked for a minute and used a time bank before calling.
"You win," Sandev said, showing Q♥10♥ for a bluff. Cortada turned over 9♠9♦ as he raked in the big pot, not even bothering to stack up the chips before joining the field on break.
