Ryan Van Sanford started the day with a healthy stack of more than 200,000, and he’s more than doubled that over the first few levels of Day 2.

In a recent pot, Debora Reeder opened to 14,000 in early position, and Van Sanford called from the cutoff. The flop came 9h8c5c. Reeder checked, then called a bet of 18,000 from Van Sanford. She check-called another 34,000 after the 8d turn, and the river Ts went check-check.

Reeder showed AhKh for high cards, and Van Sanford tabled 4s4c to win the pot with two pair.

Ryan Van Sanford – 525,000 (88 bb)
Debora Reeder – 180,000 (30 bb)
