Sardini Consolidates Chip Lead

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Gavin Sardini opened to 210,000 in middle position, which gathered calls from Daniel Caffrey in the hijack and both players in the blinds.

The dealer spread a 3A8 flop, and when the players in the blinds checked, Sardini continued for 450,000. Caffrey called, but the other two players folded.

The Q then joined the board, and Sardini kept his foot down, betting another 450,000. This time, it was enough to shake Caffrey out, as he returned his cards to the dealer.
