David Sands Up to 78,000

From middle position Todd Witteles raises to 2,000 and David Sands raises to 5,300 from the button. Witteles makes the call and the two players see a flop of {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} . Witteles checks and Sands bets 3,700 into a pot of 11,000. Witteles check raises to 9,000 and Sands calls.

The turn is the {10-Diamonds} and Witteles checks again. Sands makes another small bet, this time for 5,700. Witteles thinks for quite a while before eventually making the call.

The river brings the {4-Hearts} and Witteles checks for a third time. Sands bets 9,000 - enough to but Witteles all in.

"Dan Druff" mucks his hand and dips down to 8,500. Sands makes a strong showing in the late stages of the day and surges to 78,000.
