Sandvik Turns Broadway
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Espen Sandvik raised the button to 50,000 and Ersin Ical defended from the big blind.
Ical started with a check on the Q♠J♥J♠ flop, and Sandvik fired a continuation-bet of 25,000. Ical instantly check-raised to 90,000, which Sandvik called.
The 10♥ joined on the turn and Ical jammed, covering Sandvik. Sandvik snap-called for his 420,000 and the cards were tabled.
Espen Sandvik: A♥K♦
Ersin Ical: K♣J♣
Ical had flopped trips, but Sandvik turned a Broadway straight and looked likely to double up.
No help came for Ical on the 3♥ river, and Sandvik's stack climbed to over a million.
