Geoff Sanford Triples Up

After William Thorsson raised and Saro Getzoyan called, Geoff Sanford reraised, leaving him with just 60,000 behind. The other two players called and they saw a flop of {3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Saro checked and Sanford bet 40K, only to be raised by Thorsson. Getzoyan called and Sanford tossed in his last 20,000.

Thorsson and Getzoyan checked down the {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {K-Hearts} on the river. Saro turned over {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} but Sanford had the overpair in {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Thorsson couldn't beat that and Sanford boosted his stack to 500K.

Thor Hansen Eliminated in Fourth Place

After losing the that big hand to Geoff Sanborn, two-time WSOP bracelet winner Thor Hansen re-raised all-in from the big blind against Saro Getzoyan. Hansen had the lead with {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} vs. {J-Hearts}{7-Spades}, but the {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop gave Getzoyan the lead. Hansen picked up a wheel draw when the {2-Clubs} turned, but the river was the {7-Hearts} and Getzoyan won with trip sevens. Thor Hansen wins $93,008 for finishing in fourth place.

Geoff Sanford Double Up Through Thor Hansen

After Thor Hansen called Geoff Sanford's preflop raise the two saw a {4-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop. Sanford bet, Hansen raised and Sanford called. The turn was the {J-Spades} and this time when Hansen bet, Sanford bet nearly the rest of his chips. Hansen took a long while to decide what to do. He stacked and re-stacked his chips over and over, checking his cards and frowning at the board.

Finally he raised the last of Sanford's chips and Sanford showed {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for the pair on the turn. Hansen nodded grimly as he turned over the {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and when the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river Geoff Sanford doubled up and stayed alive.
