Mansour Matloubi Doubles From Joey Weissman

Level 16: 2,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Mansour Matloubi

Joey Weissman raised to 15,000 from the button then called the 42,000 all-in shove by Mansour Matloubi from the big blind for a heads-up showdown.

Both players missed the board, but the better hand of Matloubi with an ace-high was enough to double him up and give his stack some much-needed growth to stay above water.
