Sanchez Can't Get a Bite

Diego Sanchez opened to 450 under the gun before a man in the hijack seat three-bet to 1,150. Sanchez made the smooth call, and the two men saw a flop of {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Spades}.

After a check from Sanchez, Mr. Hijack continued out with another 1,600 chips. Sanchez flatted again, and the turn paired the board with the {9-Clubs}. The action check-checked, and Sanchez checked again on the {A-Diamonds} river. When his opponent checked it back, Sanchez slumped in his chair, tabling {2-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} for the full house. His opponent flashed {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} as he slid them into the muck, and a frustrated Sanchez collected the smaller-than-he-would-have-liked pot.

Still, he's up to about 31,000.
