Charania didn't feel lucky as he threw his player i.d card into the mix as well, but it was all for naught as he spiked his ace on the flop to secure his double up.

I still can't quite believe the hand I saw that enabled Jesse Martin to double up.
Dan Abouaf raised to 56,000 from the cut-off and watched as Jesse Martin three-bet to 262,000 from the cut-off. Abouaf though for two minutes and then just called, to a few raised eyebrows from those not in the hand.
The flop fell 
and Abouaf moved all-in, snapped off by Martin.
As the cameras moved in to film, Martin told his opponent that he had a set. Abouaf's reply came, "Good for you."
Martin: 
for middle set.
Abouaf: 
for bottom pair!
The board ran out to make Abouaf trips, but it also filled up Martin.
No one could really believe what they just saw. It's not they're playing for €1.5 million or anything.

Intrepid reporter MarcC has just reported on one of the strangest double ups he had ever seen and it involved Dan Abouaf. A few hands later and we can report that Dan Abouaf is out. He moved all-in with pocket treys and was called by Rodrigo Caprioli holding pocket sevens. The board was three-less and Abouaf was out in 22nd place earning €40,000 for his troubles.
Tudor Grangure has just been eliminated from the feature table. We caught him just before he was handed his €40,000 consolation prize and he told us that he got it all-in pre flop holding 
, but Jason Wheeler woke up with to take all of his chips.
