Sands Tries the Trap

Brandon Meyers opened to 700 from the cutoff seat, David "Doc" Sands - who finished as runner-up in the $100,000 Super High Roller a few days ago - three-bet to 3,200 from the small blind, and Meyers called.

The flop fell {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}, Sands led out for 4,300, and Meyers called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} Sands led again - this time for 7,400 - and Meyers again called.

The river was the {6-Spades}, and for the first time, Sands checked. Meyers quickly checked behind. Sands turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for an ace-high flush, and Meyers went to table his hand before realizing that Sands didn't have just ace-high.

Meyers later said that he had two jacks.

Sands couldn't pull off the trap this time, but he's still above the starting stack.
