Good Start for Sanders
Michael Sanders is no doubt hoping to follow in the footsteps of his fellow RunGood Ambassadors Ryan Tepen and Joe Hebda, the Day 1a and 1b chip leaders respectively, by bagging up the biggest stack in the room. There's still a lot of play before that will happen, but he's certainly off to a good start.
In a recent hand, five players paid 500 each to see a 
flop. Three checks saw an older gentlemen move all in for 6,550, and Sanders, the preflop raiser, put in a call. The three checkers folded, and the cards were turned up.
Sanders: 
Opponent: 
Sanders was ahead with top pair, but his opponent had a gutshot straight draw to go with his middle pair. The 
turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 
river. Sanders held and laid claim to yet another pot.
