Sako Drills the Turn to Survive

Tim Baker

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Martin Ward raised on the button, and Yuki Sako jammed for around 8,500 from the small blind. Ward quickly called.

Yuki Sako: Q♣J♠ All in
Martin Ward: A♥K♠

Ward was ahead with big slick and moved even further in front on the K♥9♠3♥ flop by pairing his king.

However, the 10♥ on the turn gave Sako the nut straight, although Ward had a flush draw.

The 7♠ river was a brick, and Sako doubled up.
