Richard Saunders

On the next hand after Carlos Bermudez was eliminated, Felipe Luyanda opened to 160,000 and Richard Saunders moved all in for 1,115,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Luyanda called.

“Let’s gamble,” he said.

Luyanda: Kh3h
Saunders: AdQd

Saunders was ahead but needed to dodge to live cards to double up. Luyanda took the lead when he paired his king on the KdTc7c flop and Saunders could not catch up on the 5h turn or 8c river to exit in sixth place.

Felipe Luyanda – 9,215,000 (154 bb)
Richard Saunders – Eliminated in 6th Place ($7,700)
