Back-to-Back Hands Eliminate Sandvik
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Espen Sandvik had a couple of hands that led to his exit.
The first hand took place when Zachary Hench opened to 42,000 from under the gun and was called by Sandvik from the hijack. Hench bet 114,000 on the 3♦2♥10♥ flop, leaving only 4,000 behind. Sandvik went all-in, and Hench called to put himself at risk.
Zachary Hench: A♥A♣Q♥2♠
Espen Sandvik: 10♦9♠7♦7♠
Hench hit his flush on the 6♥ turn, and this turned out to be crucial as Sandvik hit a set on the 7♣ river.
On the very next hand, Sandvik went all-in for his remaining 99,000 after a raise from Gael Ruiz, and was called to be at risk.
Espen Sandvik: A♥10♣6♦6♠
Gael Ruiz: K♥K♦Q♠2♦
Ruiz held court on the 2♠4♠8♥K♣A♠ runout to eliminate Sandvik.
