Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Vitaly Karayan has just had two big hands in the space of a couple of minutes and won both to move up to 2.3m.

In the first hand, he was all in with pocket kings against Ari Engel's pocket jacks. The flop came down, and Kararyan hit top set to take a firm lead and sealed his double up as the board completed.

And just a couple of hands later he called an all in from an opponent and this time he had them covered. Kararyan's pocket nines were up against ace-queen and board ran out safe for the Russian.
