Isle Classic Event #18 (Day 2): Sandy Sanchez Sends Event #18 Players Into The Money

2017 Isle Classic | Event #18
$175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 20 (Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000)
Total Event #18 Entries: 919
Event #18 Players Remaining: 86


Sandy Sanchez (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) had a lot to sweat during the runout, but ended up knocking out Lester Trimino on the bubble hand.

On the first hand of hand-for-hand play, Lester Trimino (Miami, FL) shoved from early position, for just over 65,000.  Sandy Sanchez was next to act, and after getting the exact count, he dropped a stack a chips for a call.  The rest of the table folded behind, and Trimino would be at risk, holding K Q against Sandy's 8 8.  The dealer then ran out a board of 10♣ 9 4 5 2, giving Lester a ton of equity, but nothing to complete his hand.  

Truman stood at the table after his elimination, waiting to see if anyone else would be eliminated on the same hand (meaning he'd split the 87th pay spot).  It just so happened that Oneil McCalla would be knocked out as well, meaning the two would walk away with $153 and $152 respectively.  Everyone left in the field is now guaranteed at least $305.
