Sanli Leaves Santamaria With Crumbs
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Mahmut Sanli opened the cutoff to 400,000 and Gerard Carbo Santamaria three-bet from the big blind to 1,075,000. Sanli called.
They saw a flop of Q♠A♠5♣, where Santamaria bet 400,000 and Sanli called to the K♣ turn. Santamaria sized up with a bet of 1,450,000, and again Sanli called.
When the 8♦ hit the river, Santamaria bet 2,050,000, leaving himself just 400,000 behind. Sanli went into the tank and with around 3,000,000 behind, he had a big decision for the majority of his stack. Four time banks later and with just a few seconds left of the countdown, Sanli called.
Santamaria confidently showed K♦Q♥ for two pair, but Sanli rolled over A♦Q♣ for a better two pair to take the pot.
