Inselberg Out

From middle position, Jesus Sanchez raised to 11,000. David Inselberg reraised all in for around 70,000 from the big blind and Sanchez made the call. Inselberg was all in and at risk with the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Sanchez held the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for two suited overcards.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Sanchez took the lead with a pair of jacks. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and river the {Q-Diamonds}. Inselberg was left second best in this one and headed to the rail just a few spots short of a cash.

Open Your Hands, Please

"All in and a call on Table 2!"

We rushed to the table to see that Charles Furey was all in and at risk against Thomas Miller. For some reason, neither player turned their cards over, and the dealer completed the board {q-Diamonds}, {4-Hearts}.

Finally, when a tournament staff member arrived, Miller turned over {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks. It was Furey's turn to turn his hand over, and he spiked {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} on the felt, giving a fist pump. Furey doubled to over 180,000, while Miller is now on life support with only 47,500.

Mattern Dishes Another Double

It's not been a good level for Arnaud Mattern. Just a few hands after running queens into aces, he got himself into another cooler of an all-in.

It was the Frenchman who opened to 10,000 in middle position, and Bill Chen shoved in for 57,500 total. Mattern snapped with the covering stack, but he was crushed again.

Showdown
Mattern: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Chen: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

The board ran clean for Chen, coming {3-Spades} {2-Spades} {J-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, and Chen has found some fightin' chips. He's up to about 122,000 now, while Mattern tumbles back down under 150,000.
