This Is What $1,023 Looks Like
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
No one is happier about being in the money than Bill Sanders. After Van Keirsbilck's pocket kings held against his opponent's pocket jacks, the tournament director announced that all dealers should finish the hands they were on and then hold up. The Bentonville, Arkansas native heard this and folded his hand, despite having just 1,500 in chips left. This, despite not knowing that another all-in confrontation was taking place between David Queen and Lance Hendricks.
Upon learning the news that he had squeaked into the money, Sanders celebrated and was cheered on and congratulated by tablemates Li Wu and James Traber.
"Hey," Traber said to event photographer Haley Hochstetler, "Take a picture of this. That's what a thousand dollars looks like." Beaming, Sanders held up his remaining two chips.
