Matthew Sande Eliminated on the Bubble

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

On a board of {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}, Matthew Sande checked and Randy Pfiefer bet 18,000. Sande fired back with a check-raise to 40,000, which prompted a three-bet from Pfeifer to 89,000 from Pfeifer. Sande moved all-in, and Pfeifer snap-called.

Sande: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Pfeifer: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The turn was disastrous for Sande as Pfeifer had alreadry flopped a straight. The {8-Clubs} completed the board, and Sande was crippled down to 40,000. He was eliminated two hands later, leaving us with 12 players.
