Dentale & Siegel Each Claim a Victim

Event 1: $350 + $50 DS NL (2 re-entry)

On a flop of A♣Q♥T♣, Mikey 'Unbelievable' Dentale calls the short-stack's all-in.  Mike's J♣8♣ (flush draw with double-gutshot) was about even-money against his opponent's AQ (top/top).  The turn was the useless 5♦, but the river delivered the 9♠ to complete Mike's straight and ship him the pot.  He's now up to ~150k.

Across the room, Eric 'Pools' Siegel called an all-in on a flop of 8 4 2 with one spade.  His opponent's overpair was ahead of Eric's 5♠3♠ (open-ender), but not for long.  The last two came running spades (King, Ace) to give Eric the back-door flush and the pot.  He's up to ~200k.

Two more players reported to the rail.  The cries of "Seat Open" are coming rapidly
