Mihails Morozovs limped in under the gun, and a second player three-bet to 1,125. Coming in from the cold, Petr Targa made another raise to 3,125, and Morozovs responded by shoving all in for 6,625. That folded the monkey in the middle, but Targa quickly called with his covering stack and a chance at the knockout.
Showdown
Morozovs: 
Targa: 
It was a bad spot for the all-in player, but things would improve quickly as the flop came 
.The 
turn was a huge sweat for him, though, and Targa could catch any ace, ten, or heart to knock him out.
River: 
Well, quads will do nicely, and Morozovs has found his unlikely double.

Details are sparse on this one, but we do know that Salman Behbehani has just doubled up to about 50,000. We're not even sure what his opponent held; the cards were already mucked when we walked up. Whatever the other two cards were, they were not as good as Behbehani's . The ace-jack ended up being the second nuts, in fact, as the board read 
. It looks like there was betting action the whole way through, and Behbehani's last ~13,000 or so was paid off on the river, securing his full double.
