Hands #23-27: Sanders Picks Off Booker's Bluff

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Hand #23: From the hijack, Zach Seymour moved all in for 225,000. Everyone folded and Seymour took down the pot.

Hand #24: From the small blind, Jodie Sanders raised to 30,000. Tom Booker folded in the big blind and Sanders took down the pot.

Hand #25: From the button, Sanders opened to 25,000. In the small blind, Booker three-bet, making it 55,000. The big blind folded while Sanders called.

The flop was {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Booker led out with a bet of 50,000. Sanders called. On the {9-Diamonds} turn, Booker led again, this time betting out 75,000. Sanders called again.

Booker led out for a third time on the {5-Hearts} river, betting 100,000. Sanders dropped into the tank thinking for nearly two minutes before he finally settled on a call.

"Good call," Booker said showing {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

An excited Sanders turned up his {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights and that earned him the massive pot, leaving Booker as the short stack in the tournament.

Hand #26: Jordan Hufty received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #27: Hufty limped in from the small blind and Katie Kopp checked her option in the big blind. The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and both players checked. Hufty bet 14,000 on the {8-Clubs} turn, and that was enough to earn him the pot.
