Behrendt Finds Hero Call as Bubble Begins
Harry Sandford opened to 16,000 under the gun, and Uwe Behrendt defended the big blind.
Behrendt led out three streets with a minimum bet of 8,000 on the J♥9♥7♣4♣10♦ runout. On the river, Sandord raised to 85,000. After around two minutes of deliberation, Behrendt called.
Sandford said "You're good" as he showed A♥Q♣ for ace-high, while Behrendt took the pot with K♥9♠ for a pair of nines.
“Wow, I thought you had it, king-queen” said table mate Jason Shellum. “I gave every indication of having it, nice call”, replied Sandford.
Sandford was left with crumbs and forced all-in from the big blind on the next hand. Mihai Norocel moved all in from under the gun for around 150,000, and everyone else folded.
Harry Sandford: K♥10♠ 
Uwe Behrendt: 10♣10♥
Sandford was crushed, but although the ten was in the window on the 10♦8♠2♠ flop, after the 7♠ turn, Sandford still had outs to the flush.
However the 7♣ river improved Norocel to a full house and brings about the bubble.
