Sadler Loses a Flip to the Anonymous Man
Level 7
: 250/500, 75 ante
The staff at Dusk Till Dawn respect that some players wish to remain anonymous and not have their names all over the internet; it will be interesting to see what happens if one of them wins a major tournament!
One such anon player just won a decent pot from John Sadler, leaving the latter with 12,000. Sadler's 
couldn't win the race against his opponents' which improved to two pair by the river.
102 players from the 148 starters remain.

flop, further still on the 
and he locked up the hand on the 
river.
