Slanted Table?

[user37786]

All the chips are going Saro Getzoyan's way. He just won another huge pot when, after Sanford called him on the flop and raised on the turn, the board of {4-Diamonds}

made both players check. Getzoyan held {6-Hearts}

and Sanford couldn't beat his fours.

Sanford is in dire straits now.

Saro Getzoyan Wins the $5,000 Limit Hold'em Title

[user37786]

In the small blind, Geoff Sanford raised and Saro Getzoyan called. The flop came {J-Spades}

, and Getzoyan led out. Sanford raised, and after thinking a short time Getzoyan re-raised. At this point Sanford was committed, and all his chips were soon in the pot. He turned over {9-Hearts}

for middle pair -- but Gezoyan held {Q-Hearts}

for top pair.

The {J-Clubs}

on the turn gave Getzoyan two pair, leaving Sanford dead to an eight. And the river brought the {7-Diamonds}

, giving the hand, the title, the $333,379 first prize, and the bracelet to Saro Getzoyan. Geoff Sanford, a most worthy runner-up who just couldn't hit a hand once we reached heads-up play, finishes second and collects $200,511.
