Sanders Hits River to Take the Lead
Niveau 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
On the flop of 10♠2♥3♦, all of the chips between Joseph Sanders and Anatoliy Zlotnikov got into the middle, with Sanders at risk.
Joseph Sanders: A♠A♣8♣3♥ 
Anatoliy Zlotnikov: Q♦Q♠5♠4♠
Sanders was in the lead with his aces, but Zlotnikov still had an open-ended straight draw. Sure enough, the A♥ peeled on the turn to give him the nut straight as well as top set for Sanders. Miraculously, the 3♠ spiked on the river to give Sanders a full house to claim the pot for a huge double into the lead.
