Double Trouble

We just had two simultaneous all ins at separate tables. We go to the player with more chips first, Federico Cipollini. He was all in for 35,000 holding {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}, in good shape to double up through Dennis Waterman's {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}.

A row of ducks walked through the flop as the dealer ran it out {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}. The {A-Clubs} on the turn was an eyebrow-raising card, and the {A-Spades} that hit fifth street drew a loud sigh from both players. The board plays, the pot is split in half, and we head over to the other table.

Or at least, we try to head over. There are no less than 50 members of the media doing the same thing, many of them armed to the teeth with monstrous video cameras. To put it bluntly, the etiquette is very poor here, and we were soon pushed out of the way and unable to really tell who was involved.

What we could tell from Thomas Kremser's announcing was that there was a player all in for 25,000 with pocket aces against {K-Spades} {9-Clubs}. A board full of blanks held his aces, and our mysterious players has picked up that crucial double. Still, 50,000 is quite short at this stage.
