Sachinidis Chips Up

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Catching the action on the {K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{A-Clubs} flop, we found Jim Sachinidis firing out a continuation-bet of 500. His opponent from the big blind check-raised to 1,100 and Sachinidis made the call.

The turn of the {Q-Spades} saw the big blind toss in 1,500, and after deliberating for a minute or two, Sachinidis moved all in for his last 2,900. The big blind immediately called.

Sachinidis: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

With Sachinidis needing to fade a five or clubs, the river of the {9-Hearts} would ensure he doubled through to roughly 9,000 in chips.
