Diego Sanchez... Chip Leader?

[user75032]

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}

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