Sass Loses Half His Stack

Action folds around to Alan Sass in the cutoff and he raises.  Tommy Hang calls out of the small blind and the two see a [10h8s6d] flop.  Hang checks, Sass bets out 7,500 and Hang calls.  Both players check when the [Kh] comes on the turn and Hang leads out for 16,000 when the [8h] falls on the river.  Sass deliberates before raising to 54,800 total and it doesn’t take long before Hang moves all-in for an additional 90,700.

Sass eventually calls and mucks his hand when Hang shows [Ah9h] for the nut flush.  Hang doubles up to 180,000 while Sass drops to 140,000.
