Contreraz Back to Starting Stack After "Two Bad Beats"

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

From the cutoff, Angel Contreraz found himself all-in against Megan Moore (small blind), claiming he had been the recent victim of two bad beats in a row.

Angel Contreras: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Megan Moore: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Contreraz pulled off the old 'stand up like you're leaving' trick to ride his nines to victory on the {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} board, getting himself back to almost the 50,000-chip starting stack.

Meanwhile, at the same table, Vanessa Kade has amassed one of the biggest stacks in the tournament, already eclipsing a half-million in chips.
