Matthew Henson Triples Up to Stay Alive
Matthew Henson started the level as one of the short stacks with 500,000 and halfway through the round he found himself down to just over 4 big blinds with 85,000 when he open-shoved for 85,000 from under the gun. Nick Rampone called from the button, David Diaz reraised to 210,000 from the small blind and Rampone folded.
