Sanchez Doubles Through Astra
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Joao Astra opened to 4,000 from early position and received a call from two players before Ramon Sanchez also flatted on the button. The big blind made it a five-way to the flop.
On the K♣9♦7♣ flop, action checked to Sanchez, who slid out a bet of 11,000. It folded back to Astra, who check-jammed for 64,000, covering his opponent. Sanchez wasted little time putting calling chips into the middle.
Ramon Sanchez: 7♦7♠ 
Joao Astra: K♥J♥
Sanchez had Astra almost drawing dead with his set of sevens and his lock on the hand was confirmed by the 6♣ turn, with the 5♠ river completing the board.
