Sandoff Gets a Reprieve
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Karl Sandoff can count himself lucky to still be in the tournament as his pocket jacks found a lucky runout to keep him alive.
In a blind-on-blind encounter, Sandoff had his 90,000 chips in from the small blind and had been put at risk by Pavel Ignatov from the big blind.
Karl Sandoff: J♥J♠ 
Pavel Ignatov: A♠A♦
A flop of 4♠3♦2♥ didn't offer much help to Sandoff, but he did find a little more equity when the 6♠ hit the turn, giving both players a gutshot on board. That draw came in on the river when the 5♥ smacked the felt, which gave both players a straight and saw them both chop the pot.
