Engel Drops Further
Level 27
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Under the gun, Robert "Action Bob" Hwang shoved in for the 238,000 he had left. Ari Engel reshoved from the cutoff, and the two men were heads up with Hwang's tournament life at risk.
Showdown
Hwang:
Engel:
Hwang flopped top pair on the flop, but Engel had a gutshot straight draw to work with. The turn was a blank, though, and so was the that dropped on fifth street. Hwang's best hand holds up, and he's doubled back to 571,000.
That knocks Engel down to just about 190,000, and it's the second time he's given back-to-back doubles as well.
