Double, Double, Gone


Ben Castle is all in for his last 5BB, and Gary Herstein grabs three grey 5k chips to call, rocks his hand forward, pauses, leans more, pauses more, then lets go of the calling chips.

Castle shows J8 and Herstein shows a 6, slowly sliding it back to reveal an ace underneath.

There's an 8 in the window, a 5, then a 9 on the turn giving Herstein a sweat to the 7 as well as a Barry Greenstein.

The river King gives Castle a double-up. Herstein pulls back his chips, then puts out out 10,000, then flips a 500 across to , then flips out another 500 to reach the double-up amount.

On the very next hand, it is Herstein getting a double-up, his all-in-preflop A8 outdrawing the 22 of Rich Bai.

One hand later it is Bai being eliminated by Mark Owens, J7<AQ on an A-J-x flop.

When a player who is NOT in the hand calls for the cameras to come over, that's a pretty good sign there's plenty of action taking place. I show up to see a       flop and three players - including David Rounds (above) - all in and their cards already tabled. Rounds is showing     for top set Challenger 1 is showing     for bottom set Challenger 2 has     for flush and straight flush draws The turn   completes the flush and makes the straight flush draw now a Royal draw. Rounds finds Barry Greenstein,   on the river and it goes boat-over-boat-over-flush. The player with the flush, who came from behind to take the lead on the turn, is eliminated and Rounds moves to 61,000. Level - 4 Blinds - 100/200 Antes - 25 Entries - 40 -- Dan Ross
