Sanchez doubles up through Takayama


The big hand began with Mike Takayama raising it up to 85K. Raymi Sanchez then moved all in with his 685K chips. Takayama eventually called and it was a showdown.

Sanchez: A Q

Takayama: A 8

With the board running 6 4 K, Sanchez was ahead, but with the turn card of 8, Sanchez fell behind to Takayama’s pair. Needing to connect with a queen or another diamond to avoid elimination, the river slapped a 10 giving Sanchez what he needed to win the hand. He doubled up to 1.4M.
