Sands Finishes Off Rajkumar

Vivek Rajkumar was crippled after doubling up David "Doc" Sands, and found himself all in from the big blind. In the hand, Antonio Esfandiari raised to 40,000 from the hijack and then folded when Sands three-bet to 108,000 from the cutoff.

Showdown
Sands: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Rajkumar: {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Rajkumar was drawing live, but he'd be left wanting after the board ran out {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}{K-Spades}. With that, Sands finished off Rajkumar.
