Sardini Out Before Bagging
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Just before the end of the night, Gavin Sardini pushed all-in for a short stack of 40,000 on the A♠Q♥J♠ and Tim Akinnusi asked for a count. When he found out it was only such a small wager to call, Akinnusi came along.
"Did you hit the board?" Sardini said and showed the 5♥4♣, up against A♥3♥ and in rough shape.
"I just gambled," Sardini added because he was either winning a pot or getting to enter 1c as well as Day 2 with a fresh stack.
The 4♥ turn was a minor seat but the 10♥ river only improved Akinnusi to the ace-high flush.
