Sanford Playing Against Doctors Orders
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
George Sanford was in a three-way hand on the flop as it read 9?5?7?. All three players checked to the turn which came the J?. Richard Sperberg bet 2,000, Georgios Soritopoulos called and Sanford got out of the way. The river was the A?, Sperberg fired 4,500 and Sotiropoulos folded to send Sperberg the pot.
Sanford is fortunate be playing in this main event as he just finished chemotherapy for stage 4 cancer and is currently playing against doctors wishes. But he said that he can not guarantee he will ever have another chance to play this tournament, which has been a bucket list for him for many years so he is making the most of the time he has now.
