Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Action went heads-up to a flop of 7♦8♦9♥ in a hand between Jhordy Sanchez in the cutoff and Alvin Anton in the small blind.

With 3,000 in the middle, Anton check-called a bet of 1,000, bringing the J♥ turn where both players checked.

The river landed the 3♦ and both players checked again. Sanchez tabled K♥8♣ for a pair of eights and Anton paused for a moment before showing A♠9♣ for a pair of nines.

"Didn't mean to slow roll you, thought you had a jack," said Anton as he dragged in the small pot.
