Haxton Doubles Elias

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Darren Elias raised to 24,000 from the small blind and Isaac Haxton defended his big blind.

Elias fired out for 16,500 on the {4-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop and got a call. He got another call on the {6-Hearts} after betting 52,800.

The {7-Hearts} river completed the board and Elias emptied the chamber with a jam of 99,695. Haxton called and soon found out his {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs} had kicker issues with Elias doubling up with {k-Spades}{j-Spades}.

Holz Provides Back-to-Back Doubles Novak and Grospellier

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

A good portion of Fedor Holz's previous stack was sent quickly to Andrii Novak and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.

First, it was Novak who doubled. Holz jammed from the small blind and Novak called off for 169,635. Novak's {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} held up against the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} held by Holz after the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} ran out on the board.

The very next hand it was Grospellier's turn to double up, but unlike the previous hand, this one was a bad beat for Holz. Grospellier four-bet jammed with {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and ran into the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} held by Holz. The {3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} board gave Grospellier a flush to double his stack.
