Sampson's Shove Was Costly

From under the gun Nick Salto opened to 17,000 and Daniel Sampson shoved behind him for 103,000. The blinds folded and Salto called all in as Sampson had him covered.

Salto: {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}
Sampson: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

The board ran {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} and Sampson was left with just one big blind.

Rettenmaier In Danger

We don't know when the money went in but Marvin Rettenmaier doubled up Carl DiVeglia III.

Rettenmaier: {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
DiVeglia III: {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}

The board was {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {A-Hearts} and Rettenmaier is the lowest he's been all day. He went from a serious threat to the final table to playing on life support.
