Double-Ups in Dying Minutes of Day 3
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ioannis Oikonomidis ripped in his stack of 1,355,000 from middle position. It folded to Modar Alsoud in the big blind, who thought for a while before he decided to call.
Ioannis Oikonomidis: K♥J♥ 
Modar Alsoud: A♥6♠
Oikonomidis flopped a pair on 10♥K♦Q♦ for a sizable lead. The 9♥ turn upgraded him to a straight, and the Q♣ river paired the board to secure his double-up.
Over at the other table, Scott Margereson had raised under the gun when Pierre Azzopardi three-bet all in for 1,330,000 on the button. Margereson made a quick call when the action folded back to him.
Pierre Azzopardi: A♥A♣
Scott Margereson: Q♠Q♣
Azzopardi's aces remained safe on the K♠J♦6♥5♦7♦ runout, doubling him up with just a couple of minutes left to play for the day.
