David Sands

Whelan: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The board {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} gave Sands a full double up.

Kerry Langen Eliminated in 24th Place ($16,644)

Alexander Queen opened to 32,000 from late position only to have Kerry Langen move all in for 91,000. Queen made the call and the cards were tabled.

Queen: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Langen: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The flop of {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} put Queen in the lead and would leave Langen needing to catch an ace or running cards for a straight to stay alive.

The {2-Hearts} on the turn cut down Langen's backdoor outs, and when the {J-Diamonds} fell on the river, she hit the rail in 24th place earning herself $16,644 for her efforts.

What a Tank

With 95,000 already in the pot, the flop was spread {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Carlos Mortensen fired a 120,000 chip-bet on the button and Christopher Kastler announced re-raise all in.

Mortensen tanked for almost eight minutes, the clock was called and Mortensen eventually folded.

Mortensen slipped to 310,000 and Kastler now has 940,000 chips.
