Richard Sara Doubles Up...Twice!

[user57954]

In consecutive hands Richard Sara found himself with all of his chips in the middle and on both occasions he was able to successfully double up through Chris Chronis.

The first hand saw Sara with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

push his short stack into the middle and Chronis made the call with {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

. The board brought {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

and Sara's trip tens were good!

The next hand both players went at it again, this time Chronis with {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

once again needing help against the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

of Sara. However the flop of {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

gave Chronis the lead momentarily, until the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

on the turn and {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

on the river gave Sara a straight to boost his chips to over 50,000!
