Sanchez Turns Broadway to Eliminate Mata
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of K♥10♣9♦J♠ and just under 40,000 already in the middle, Manuel Sanchez checked from middle position and Luis Mata bet 10,000 from the hijack. Sanchez then moved all in, covering Mata who had roughly 80,000 behind. Mata made the call and was at risk.
Luis Mata: A♥K♣
Manuel Sanchez: A♦Q♦
Mata had flopped top pair only for Sanchez to turn a Broadway straight, leaving Mata with only three outs to chop the pot. He could not find a queen on the 9♠ river and was sent to the rail late in Day 1a while Sanchez collected the last of his chips.
