Costa Crippled

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Grayson Nichols opened the pot with a raise, and Marcelo Costa reraised all in for 108,000 total. Nichols only had 71,000 left, and he called all in to put himself at risk.

Showdown
Nichols: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {8-Spades} {5-Spades}
Costa: {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

Costa called for red cards, and the {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} flop was a good start. The {9-Hearts} turn was red but the wrong shade, and the river {9-Clubs} failed to get him over the hump, too. It's the eight that plays for Nichols, and he's found a double to move to 153,000. It was a big blow to Costa, falling all the way back to 37,000.
