Sadek Rivers a Straight to Overcome Joshi's Ladies
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Esper Sadek just approached PokerNews to explain a huge hand he just played.
Sadek raised under the gun to 25,000 before a short-stacked player shoved for 160,000. Sachin Joshi then jammed over the top with a stack that covered the entire table. After it folded back to Sadek he called for his remaining 500,000.
Esper Sadek: 10x10x 
Short-Stacked Player: AxJx
Sachin Joshi: QxQx
If Joshi could hold with pocket queens, he would move up to almost a stack of two million. However, the board ran out very unfavorably for Joshi as it came 9♠3♠7x8x6x to give Sadek the winner with a rivered ten-high straight.
