Sanchez Hits Ace to Stay in Contention
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
The chips were all in preflop between David Sanchez and Michael Brinkenhoff, with Sanchez at risk for his tournament life.
David Sanchez: A♣K♦
Michael Brinkenhoff: Q♠Q♣
It was the classic race between Sanchez and Brinkenhoff as they went into the runout.
The J♦10♠A♠ leaped Sanchez into the lead, but he was not out of the woods yet as Brinkenhoff could still hit a king for a straight.
The 7♥ turn was a safe card, and so was the 5♦ river to secure the double.
