Muscarella Doubles Twice

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

First, Alex Muscarella doubled up from the late position for 73,000 with {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} against the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} of Grigoriy Shvarts in the cutoff when the board ran out {8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} for Muscarella to hit the flop for the pair of eights and improve to two pair on the river.

The hand after, Milliard Hale raised to 15,000 from the early position and Muscarella shoved for 161,000 in the middle position. Action folded back to Hale who cut out calling chips, took some time, used a time extension, and then made the call.

Alex Muscarella: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Milliard Hale: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} for Musacarella to hold with the pair of queens to double up again.
