Big Slick Doesn't Do the Trick for Sanchez

Jake Abdalla opened for 1,000 in early position and was met by a three-bet to 2,550 by Georgios Sotiropoulos, who was fresh off winning the LAPT Bahamas Main Event. Diego Sanchez then four-bet to 7,550 from the big blind, both his opponents called, and the flop came down .

All three players checked, the dealer burned and turned the , and Sanchez checked. Abdalla bet 7,300, Sotiropoulos folded, and Sanchez check-raised all in for 16,575. Abdalla snap-called and Sanchez discovered the bad news.

Sanchez had turned top pair, but he was drawing dead to the flopped set of Abdalla. The meaningless was run out on the river for good measure, and Sanchez hit the rail.
