Sandoval Gunned Down

HillKerby

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Daniel Mingus opened to 30,000 under the gun and was three-bet to 100,000 by Joseph Gunn in the cutoff. Daniel Sandoval then cold four-bet jammed for 400,000 in the big blind.

Mingus went Full Sherman, going into the tank for several minutes before finding a clearly painful fold, with Gunn calling and quickly turning over two aces behind.

"I folded queens!" exclaimed Mingus upon seeing Gunn's aces.

Daniel Sandoval:
Joseph Gunn:

"Seven," said Sandoval, seeing the uncomplying flop come onboard. The turn followed.

"Seven!" said Sandoval once more, down to his final chance. No seven came, with the river falling to earn Gunn the pot of nearly 1 million and send Sandoval to payouts. With the pot, Gunn now has 1.02 million, making him the first player to reach seven figures in the tournament.
