Joe McKeehen just got the better of Mike Sandler yet again... but based on the pair's track record, another clash is coming soon enough

Joe McKeehen and Mike Sandler just went to war yet again, after waging a series of all-in assaults against one another's stacks.

This time the action was limped to McKeehen, who exercised his big blind option by raising to 70,000. Attilio Bitando laid his hand down and Mike Sandler then shoved all in from the small blind, effectively betting 637,000 to put McKeehen at risk if he called.

And call he did holding the {A-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, which was well out in front of Sandler's {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The dealer fanned a flop of {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{k-Spades} across the felt and Sandler winced at the sight of the ace in the window, but a king on board gave him a glimmer of hope.

The turn brought the {3-Spades} to the table and Sandler picked up additional outs to a chop, but the {9-Hearts} on the river was a brick, sending yet another huge pot to McKeehen as the pair's seesaw battle rages on.
