Shou Money Tonight

From middle position, Tian Shou came in raising to 20,000, and the action folded around to the cutoff seat. Raul Mestre was there, and he made a second raise to 60,000. Shou would go into the tank for just a bit before announcing all in, and Mestre snap-called for his remaining 423,000, putting his own tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown
Shou: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Mestre: {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}

The flop was pretty clean for Mestre as it came {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {6-Spades}. The {4-Clubs} that hit the turn was safe as well, and the {J-Hearts} on the end was a fine card as well. With his jacks holding up, Mestre has notched a huge double up, sitting now with 864,000. That puts him just a few thousand ahead of Shou now.
