Sandford Spikes Two Pair to Stay Alive
Nivel 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
With roughly 30,000 in the middle on a board of 3♦6♠2♣K♣, Bjorn Verbakel had bet 30,000 from the big blind blind into George Sandford on the button. Sandford only had roughly 40,000 remaining in his stack and after debating over the decision for a while, opted to move all in. Verbakel called and the cards were flipped over.
George Sandford: 7♣7♠6♥5♣ 
Bjorn Verbakel: K♠9♣4♣4x
Verbakel was ahead with top pair and Sandford needed a lot of help on the river to stay alive in the tournament. He found it when the dealer put out the 5♦, improving him to the winning hand with two pair, sixes and fives. Sandford would double up to over 100,000 while Verbakel was left very short.
