Sanders Hits River to Take the Lead
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
On the flop of 10?2?3?, all of the chips between Joseph Sanders and Anatoliy Zlotnikov got into the middle, with Sanders at risk.
Joseph Sanders: A?A?8?3? 
Anatoliy Zlotnikov: Q?Q?5?4?
Sanders was in the lead with his aces, but Zlotnikov still had an open-ended straight draw. Sure enough, the A? peeled on the turn to give him the nut straight as well as top set for Sanders. Miraculously, the 3? spiked on the river to give Sanders a full house to claim the pot for a huge double into the lead.
