Sanchez Steams Ahead

Cheerful Spanish micro-qualifier Jesus "Tiger" (that's what it says on the back of his shirt) Sanchez is on fire - he's up to 250,000 after taking another hefty pot off of chip leader Matthew Nieberg.

Sanchez raised to 4,100 preflop and Nieberg made ot 11,200. Call. They saw a {6-?} {6-?} {J-?} flop and Sanchez checked. Nieberg tried it on for 14,000 - but folded when Sanchez check-raised to 45,000. Nieberg folded.

"I told you twice already, you've got to respect me!" said Sanchez as he triumphantly tabled {8-?} {10-?} offsuit.

Sanchez - 250,000
Nieberg - 315,000
