David French Crippled, Then Triples

Nick Matthews moved all in for 60,000 with {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and got a caller in David French, with the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The flop was {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, but the {9-Diamonds} spiked on the turn, giving the lead to Matthews. The river was the {4-Spades} and Matthews doubled up to 120,000 while French was left with only 14,000.

On the next hand, Tim Simon opened the pot for 40,000, Shane Pickering moved all in for 100,000, and French tossed in his last 14,000. With the action back on Simon, he elected to fold, leaving himself with only 35,000 in chips. Pickering turned over {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} while French held the {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The flop was {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, pairing French's queen. The turn was the {2-Spades}, the river was the {7-Diamonds}, and French survived, tripling up to 45,000.
