A player opened to 35,000 from middle position before Francisco Sanchez three-bet to 85,000 on the button. The middle position player responded with a four-bet to 185,000, which Sanchez flatted.
The middle position player moved all in for 340,000 following the 8♦9♣10♣ flop and Sanchez quickly called with the covering stack.
Middle Position Player: K♥10♦ 
Francisco Sanchez: Q♣Jx
Sanchez had flopped a straight to leave his opponent drawing extremely thin. A blank on the turn gave Sanchez the tickmark prior to the Kx river to send the middle position player out of the tournament.
