Sands Eroded a Bit

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

The under-the-gun player opened to 1,200, and a player in middle-position player reraised all in for 2,500 total. Action came around to Doc Sands, and he made another raise, sliding out 8,450. Under the gun reraised all in for 17,750, and Sands called with a chance at the double knockout. And he was fairly well ahead:

Showdown
UTG: {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Middle: {A-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}
Sands: {A-Spades} {2-Hearts} {9-Spades} {9-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {J-Clubs}, though, and Mr. UTG finds a naked pair of queens as the best hand. He's doubled up and then some, the middle-position player is out, and Sands drops back to about 40,000.
