Glantz Doubles Through Sexton

With the board reading {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Matt Glantz raised all in for 51,700 after Mike Sexton made it 18,000 to go. Sexton made the call and showed the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Glantz held the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and needed to dodge a diamond or a jack to double up.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Glantz doubled back to over 100,000.

Karr Riding the Roller Coaster

McLean Karr has been up and down in the past few hands. First, he managed to double up to about 140,000 when his {J-Hearts}{10-Spades} got there against the {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} of Alec Torelli on the {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{A-Spades}{4-Clubs} board after all of the money went in preflop. Shortly after that, Karr issued the doubling up of another player when he doubled Vitaly Lunkin.

On that hand, the money went in on the {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop with Karr holding the {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} to Lunkin's {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the river the {5-Diamonds} to give Lunkin a flush.
