Sanchez Calls Correctly to Send Hafner Out
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jan Sanchez led out for 40,000 from the big blind after the 9♠K♣8♦ flop, and Lukas Hafner raised to 135,000 on the button.
Sanchez called, checking the 7♣ turn before Hafner fired 165,000 into the middle. After taking some time, Sanchez made the call.
The dealer flipped over the J♣ river, and Sanchez led out for 225,000. Hafner moved all in for 450,000, sending Sanchez into the tank. After taking a few minutes, the clock was called.
As the floor director counted to the end of his 30 seconds, Sanchez stuck in the call. Hafner tabled A♣2♠ for ace-high, and Sanchez triumphantly turned over J♥7♠ for two pair to claim the elimination.
