Just a short time ago, Diego Sanchez was all in as a short stack -- twice! -- in his words, "practically drawing dead". Somehow he got there both times to stay alive. Now he's the chip leader after getting the best of Christopher Demaci.

Sanchez opened for 8,500 before Demaci three-bet the button to 28,500. Sanchez popped it to 91,500, then called all in for 210,500 after Demaci moved in. Sanchez had the better end of a flip, his {Q-Diamonds}

against Demaci's {A-Diamonds}

. Queens held on a seven-high board, {2-Clubs}

.

Demaci is down to 70,000, while Sanchez is now vying for the chip lead with about 425,000.

DeMaci Doubles

donpeters

Randy Dorfman raised to 8,200 from the cutoff seat before Chris DeMaci reraised to 27,500 from the small blind. Dorfman asked how much DeMaci was playing and then moved all in. DeMaci didn't seem to like it, but eventually made the call after some time in the tank. He held the {9-Diamonds}

and couldn't believe when Dorfman tabled the {K-Diamonds}

.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}

and DeMaci stayed in front. The turn was the {Q-Spades}

and DeMaci fell behind, but did pick up a flush draw. The river completed that flush draw when the {K-Spades}

fell. Despite making two pair, Dorfman sent over the 135,000 chips that DeMaci was all in for and doubled the young pro up.

Gary Friedlander Eliminated in 18th Place ($12,556)

donpeters

Andrew Lichtenberger raised from early-middle position to 11,500 and action folded around to Gary Friedlander on the button. He reraised to 36,000. Everyone folded back over to Lichtenberger and he took his time with his decision. A few moments after asking the dealer to bring in the 11,500 from each player, Lichtenberger moved all in. Friedlander made the call, but was in bad shape.

Lichtenberger held the cream of the crop with the {A-Diamonds}

. Friedlander held the {10-Diamonds}

.

The board ran out {J-Hearts}

and that was all she wrote for Friedlander. He was the first player eliminated in the money and took home $12,556 for his efforts. Lichtenberger moved back to the top of the leaderboard just behind Brock Parker with over 400,000 chips.

Bryan Devonshire is the Bubble Boy

[user75032]

What a cooler of a hand for Bryan Devonshire. Anthony Yeh opened in early position for 8,000 and was called by Brock Parker and Devonshire on the button. Yeh checked a ten-high flop, {10-Hearts}

. Parker opened for 15,000, a bet that Devonshire raise to 41,500. Yeh must have sensed something amiss, because he folded what he later said were pocket jacks. Parker then moved all in and Devonshire snap-called.

Parker: {10-Spades}

Devonshire: {5-Hearts}

Set over set for Parker and Devonshire, with Devonshire on the bad end. Yeh was beside himself with having made such a good fold. There was no miracle for Devonshire; the board bricked {A-Diamonds}

and

to end his tournament.
