Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

It's been a rough Level 5 for Eric Sonstegard. After cresting at about 87,000 chips, he recently doubled up two different opponents. First, he called a player's all-in reraise on a flop of {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

holding

{8-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

. His opponent opened {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

, which held up through the river.

Then a short time later, he got all in preflop with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{k-Hearts}

for about 30,000 against a different opponent who showed {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

. Sonstegard couldn't find an ace anywhere on the board by the time the river came down. He now has just 30,000 in chips.
