Pesek Sends Sands to the Beach

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Dave Sands
Dave Sands

From the cutoff seat, Michael Pesek opened with a raise to 33,000. David "Doc" Sands had just played a three-way all in on the last hand and pushed his stack right back into the middle. He was all in from the button for 148,000. After the blinds folded, Pesek tanked. He got a count on the shove amount and then tanked a bit more. Eventually, he made the call.

Sands turned over the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and was ahead of the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} that Pesek held. Pesek was still very live with his suited connectors and was looking to knock out Sands.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Pesek picked up a straight draw. Live cards and a straight draw for Pesek had Sands standing on his feet sweating the turn and river.

The turn brought the {4-Hearts} and that missed, but the {5-Spades} on the river nailed Pesek with a straight and finished off Sands. Pesek moved to 750,000 in chips.
