Event 7: Sansone Crippled

Alan Sansone raised to 130,000 from the cutoff, and Richard Gargel made the call out of the big blind.

Both players checked the {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop, and the {10-Hearts} turn prompted an all-in move from Gargel. Sansone called immediately. Gargel tossed {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} into the middle, and Sansone tossed his cards in face down. The dealer informed him they had to be turned over.

"Go ahead," Sansone said. "I can't win."

Sansone's holdings were revealed to be {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and an {8-Clubs} officially completed the hand. Sansone's down to two big blinds.
