We just heard Doc Sands lost a massive pot without showdown. Supposedly the action got six-bet pre flop and Sands was in position on the button when the flop brought out 
. His opponent in the cut-off checked to Sands who bet 11.700 but instantly folded after his opponent moved all-in. Sands is down to 42.700 but still has a very nice stack.

As the dealer was laying out the board the young lad with the queens had stress etched all over his face. Flack meanwhile had seen it all before, and looked cool as a cucumber - refrigerated of course.
Board: 
When the queen hit the river the young lad fist pumped and then quickly pulled his reactions back in before anyone could see them. He was literally shaking as he pulled in his haul.
"Nice hand," said Flack.
