Saunders Takes Out Pizanias

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 1,000 ante

Jim Pizanias and Trevor Saunders went to war pre-flop before both players had committed in all their chips. Saunders count was 249,000 and Pizanias had him barely covered with 269,000 behind.

Trevor Saunders: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Jim Pizanias: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to see Saunders take down the pot with the dominant hand.

In the following hand, Pizanias moved all in for his last 19,000 with {k-Hearts}{2-Spades} and was up against his opponent’s {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

Pizanias extended his lead to a pair of kings but had a sweat when the {9-Spades} on the turn gave his opponent an up-and-down straight draw.

The {j-Clubs} was the final dagger of the evening for Pizanias as his opponent made a straight sending him to the rail.
