Sanford Finds a Good River to Chip Up
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
On a board of 2♥8♠J♣, a short-stacked player pushed all in for 78,000. Brian Sanford quickly found a call, as he flipped over 9♥10♥ for an open-ended straight draw versus his opponents J♠Q♠ for a pair of jacks.
The turn was the 10♠, keeping Sanford behind. However, the 7♣ peeled off to give Sanford a straight and send his opponent out of the tournament.
With this hand, Sanford has a stack of 210,000.
