Reard Builds Through Sakai

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alexandre Reard
Alexandre Reard

Alexandre Reard earned value from Stephen Sakai when he bet out of the big blind on the 95539 river. Sakai paid off 400,000 and mucked when he was shown the J9.

Once the blinds went up, Sakai raised to 160,000 for the second hand in a row. He first collected the blinds and then saw Reard flat-call on the button. Both checked the Q85 flop before Sakai check-called the 6 turn for 200,000.

The 9 river went check, check, and Sakai revealed the 1010 for a pair of tens. Reard had him pipped by a notch with the JJ and raked in another pot.
