Steven Tabb raises from the cutoff to 55,000, and David Sands (pictured) calls from the small blind. The flop comes Diamond JSpade 6Spade 2, Sands checks, Tabb bets 47,000, and Sands check-raises to 165,000. Tabb calls.

The turn card pairs the board with the Diamond 2, Sands moves all in for 521,000, and Tabb calls with Spade JDiamond 6 for two pair, jacks and sixes. Sands shows Diamond QDiamond 9 for a diamond flush draw, and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The river card is the Club Q, and Sands wins the pot with a higher two pair, queens and deuces, to double up in chips, leaving Tabb with less than two big blinds.
