Tinsley Still Fighting

From early position, Mark Owens raised it up to 50,000. Alex Tinsley shoved behind him for 157,000 total. Action folded back to Owens, who made the call with {K-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. Tinsley opened {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} for the preflop lead. He took the post-flop lead as well on a board of {Q-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}. Owens caught a pair when the turn came {9-Hearts}, but the river {J-Spades} settled the score in Tinsley's favor. He doubled up to 330,000 on the hand courtesy of Owens, who is down to 770,000.
