River of Nightmares for Sanguedolce
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kalman Dohany raised to 16,000 from middle position and Antonino Sanguedolce three-bet the hijack to 48,000. Dohany called.
Dohany checked the 8♥5♠A♥ flop, and Sanguedolce continued for 35,000. Dohany check-raised to 90,000, and Sanguedolce snap-shoved for 130,000. Dohany called, putting Sanguedolce at risk.
Antonino Sanguedolce: A♣Q♣
Kalman Dohany: A♦10♦
Sanguedolce had the higher kicker and looked likely to double just after the break.
The 5♣ turn gave Dohany some chop opportunities, but the chop never came. Instead, the 10♠ rolled off on the river to give him two pair, sending Sanguedolce to the rail with a bad beat story to tell his buddies.
