Hand #52: Mario Sanchez with the 
made it 360,000 to go from middle position. Frederik Jensen right next to him picked up 
yet again and three bet to 910,000 from the hijack. Sanchez made the call.
The flop came 
and Sanchez checked. Jensen checked behind. The 
on the turn brought something for both. Sanchez, with 14% equity in the hand, bet out 950,000 into the 1,310,000 pot. Jensen, with his gutshot and nut flush draw, tanked for a bit before calling.
The 
hit the river and Sanchez made his straight while Jensen made the nut flush. Sanchez checked and Jensen announced all in. Sanchez, with 3,230,000 behind, thought about it for about 5 minutes before he called all in.
Jensen instantly showed the nuts and Sanchez left the tournament with hanging shoulders.
Amir Touma (2 big blinds) and Andreas Samuelsson (9 big binds) must have been happy picking up a slightly bigger cheque because of Sanchez' bust out. They are now guaranteed �194,100 while Mario Sanchez picked up �137,080.
