Runner-Runner Makes It Funner

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gavin Sardini in the big blind, Ivan Svitlychnyi in middle position, and Mandu Sansonnens on the button had gathered 330,000 in the middle when they went to the 439 flop. It checked to Sansonnens, who fired a bet of 65,000.

Sardini called before Sansonnens got out of the way and mucked. The J turn then quickly checked through to the 10 river. Sardini took the initiative by betting 75,000, being snap-called by Sansonnens.

Sardini tabled KQ for a rivered straight, and a frustrated Sansonnens slammed his cards into the muck in defeat.
