Howe Eliminates Sanders

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Dan Howe checked a final board of {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} from the small blind and saw Adam Sanders bet 26,000 from early position. Howe moved all in for roughly 60,000 more effective, and Sanders thought about 90 seconds and called it off. Howe showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flush, and Sanders flashed what looked like aces and mucked.
