Danny Wilson: K♦Q♦
Carson Henry: 9♣9♦

A flurry of big doubles have prevented the bubble from bursting.
First up was a big heads-up pot with K♠3♠Q♦4♣ on the board. Action checked to Jason Isbell, who tossed out a 20,000 bet. Ron Slucker made it 75,000 and Karl Grant called before Isbell ducked out of the way. Slucker shoved immediately on the 5♣ turn and Grant called with his last 75,000 to turn over 7♠6♠ for a straight. Slucker was shocked and he showed his Q♠Q♥ before he tossed them in the muck.
Nearby, Tom Millward raised to 15,000 and Perry Johnston shoved 80,000. Millward called and the cards were turned up.
Perry Johnston: Q♣Q♦
Tom Millward: 10♦10♣
