Sanchez Cripples Cajelais and Busts Marchese

Just before end of Level 10, Tom Marchese went all in for about 6,200 from middle position. Erik Cajelais three-bet to 12,000 on the button to isolate, but Andres Sanchez in the big blind four-bet all in for 53,600 after about 90 seconds in the tank. Cajelais called and we had about a 115,000-chip pot on our hands.

Marchese: {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Cajelais: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Sanchez: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Sanchez took it down when the board ran out {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, ending Marchese's tournament and leaving Cajelais very short on chips.

A few hands later, Cajelais busted.
