Mark Hodge got lucky to survive as he just doubled up with ![]()
against the ![]()
of Ken Rosheisen, taking the pot despite being dominated preflop.
Hodge followed a similar path at Mid-States Poker Tour Running Aces, coming into Day 2 with a massive stack only to bleed most of it off in the early going before coming charging back for a final table run. We'll see if history repeats.

only to have Ashor Ochana shove for 137,000 from middle of position. Action folded back to Holloway, and he called for all all but 21,000 of his chips. Ochana tabled ![]()
, and it was a race, that is until Holloway found himself nearly dead on the ![]()

In the next hand, Holloway shoved his short stack all in under the gun holding ![]()
and the player on the button called with the ![]()
. The board ran out clean and Holloway fell about 10 spots shy of the money.
