Sanders Scores a Double with Cowboys

Level 31 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Ryan Stevenson opened to 120,000 from under the gun and it folded to Michael Sanders in the big blind. Sanders slid out a three-bet making it 310,000 to go. Action was back on Stevenson and he quietly announced a four-bet all in. Sanders snapped him off and tabled his hand.

Sanders: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Stevenson: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Stevenson had a momentary thought of being in the lead when the {A-Spades} was in the window, but the flop finished off with the {k-Hearts} and the {7-Diamonds}. Sanders stayed in the lead with his set of kings and secured a double up when the {2-Diamonds} turned. The {8-Hearts} finished the board and he was able to scoop a double to about 4.05 million.
