One American Up, Another Down

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Ping Lin got his stack of about 50,000 in preflop holding {j-}{j-} and was leading the {a-}{j-} of DJ Alexander. The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Alexander shipped over a double worth most of his own chips.

At a nearby table, Alexander's fellow American, Ryan Riess, is trending the other way after he just doubled up. We didn't see his opponent's hand, but Markus Durnegger was sending over the requisite chips after a board of {5-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} hit the felt, making Riess {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} good for quads.
