We're getting a glimpse into how Matthew Sande won this event last year. He's picking up several nice-sized pots without showdown — or even seeing a flop. In the most recent hand, Michael Malm opened to 5,100 from middle position and Sande clicked it back with a three-bet to 11,000 from the hijack. Malm went deep into the tank but eventually folded, and Sande quietly increased his stack.
