Sands Runs Out of Chips

In early position, Eugene Katchalov raised to 7,000, and Todd Terry flat-called two seats over. On the button, Doc Sands squeezed all in for 80,500, and Katchalov called to put him at risk. Terry was apparently contemplating a big decision, though, and it took a few minutes for him to finally surrender, flashing his 
as he did. Sands was at risk, and it was showdown time:
Katchalov: 
Sands: 
Sands couldn't find anything useful on the 
board, and he has been eliminated in 25th place. Sands was the last one left of the four finalists from the Midwest Regional Championship who played this event. His exit guarantees a fresh set of faces for the second of the televised Regionals, the stage for which is being constructed in the room next door as we speak.
Katchalov - 345,000
