Samson Surging
Level 6
: 300/500, 500 ante
Shehryar Samson is up to four times the starting stack as the second break of Day 1a approaches, with his latest big pot sending an opponent to the rail.
The hand in question saw around 24,000 go into the middle by the river, with the board showing 
. Samson, in the big blind, checked, and his under-the-gun opponent went all in for his last 17,500.
Samson, having his opponent well covered, made the call, and showed 
to take down the pot with two pair.
