Sanchez Continues to Climb
Level 19
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Mauricio Sanchez came into the day as one of the biggest stacks in the room and has shown no sign of slowing down. Sanchez raised it up in early position and Richard Alati put the last of his 16,000 chips in the middle. He was called by Joe Gola in the small blind along with the big blind and Sanchez.
The flop came 
and the action checked to Sanchez who bet 32,000. Gola called from the small blind and the big blind got out of the way. The two remaining players checked down the side pot on the 
turn and the 
river.
Gola tabled 
but was already beat by the 
from Alati. However, Sanchez flipped over 
for a pair of kings and scooped both the main and side pot and collected a bounty ticket.
