Two Doubles Ups

We had two all-in calls but both resulted in double-ups.

In the first Sam Hill moved all in for 28,100 with {A-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and got a call from Jens Walther with {A-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

The crowd gathered round the table, but the board ran out {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} to double Hill through.

At the same time Louisy-Gabriel Mathieu moved all in for 19,500 with Eric Assadourian making the call from the big blind.

Assadourian: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Mathieu: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} made the bubble burst look imminent, but the {k-Diamonds} spiked on the turn to leave Mathieu in a good position to double up. The {9-Diamonds} completed the board and the double up.
