Ralph Massey Gets Big Double Up

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

We only caught the hand as the chips were being counted for Ralph Massey's double, but according to table mate Ray Henson, the two got in a raising war preflop that saw all the chips go into the middle. Hwang held {10-}{10-}, and he was well ahead of the {a-Spades}{4-Spades} of Massey.

However, the board was kind to Massey, coming down {q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Massey caught a straight on the river, and notched a huge double up to 130,000, while Hwang tumbled down to 76,000.
