Sands Busts Hesse

We caught up to see David "Doc" Sands raise to 2,800 only to have Stephen Hesse re-raise to 5,900. Sands moved out a four-bet to 9,000 and Hesse replied by five-betting all in. Sands called and the hands were shown:

Sands: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Hesse: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The two players were racing and Sands jumped out into the lead on the {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. The turn and river were of no help to Hesse as they fell {9-Diamonds} and {9-Clubs}. Sands was able to absorb Hesse's stack and it now taking about 71,000 into the dinner break.
