Once Upon a Bubble Double

Level 31 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Guillaume Nolet raised to 100,000 and Samuel Vousden called all-in from the button for 27,600, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called in the big blind. On the {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Vaskaboinikau check-folded to a bet by Nolet.

Samuel Vousden: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Guillaume Nolet: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The {a-Spades} turn sealed the double for Vousden and the {4-Hearts} river was a formality.

Nolet then three-bet jammed his massive stack into Andras Nemeth, who called for 952,385 total.

Andras Nemeth: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Guillaume Nolet: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Nemeth doubled thanks to a {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades} board!

Fast forward one more hand as Vousden was at risk and Nemeth called in the big blind.

Samuel Vousden: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Andras Nemeth: {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The pair held thanks to a {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board.

Triple Up for Sammartino
Triple Up for Sammartino

Elio Fox made it 100,000 to go from an early position and Dario Sammartino jammed for just 65,172 out of the small blind. Bert Stevens applied maximum pressure and jammed the big blind for nearly 1.7 million. Fox eventually called for 835,796 to create a three-way all-in.

Dario Sammartino: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Elio Fox: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Bert Stevens: {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Fox an additional straight draw while Stevens picked up outs to scoop on the {k-Diamonds} turn. A blank {3-Hearts} followed on the river and Sammartino tripled while Fox scored a big double on the bubble.

Garagnani and Winter Double

Level 30 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Pedro Garagnani raised to 272,000 in the cutoff and Adrian Mateos jammed with the covering stack on the button. Garagnani had 266,869 behind and called it off.

Pedro Garagnani: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Adrian Mateos: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board once again kept the player at risk in contention.

And Sean Winter did so as well when he called all-in for the last 27,118 he had behind in the small blind, following a raise to 84,000 by Bert Stevens.

Sean Winter: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Bert Stevens: {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

The {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} board gave Winter a pair of queens and urgently needed chips.

Jason Koon: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Koon spiked some outs on the {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop. He got there on the {j-Clubs} turn to leave Kelopuro with just one out. Sure enough, the {a-Diamonds} fell on the river and Kelopuro doubled on the bubble in spectacular fashion.

Astedt and Fox Double

Level 29 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

Bert Stevens had boosted his stack without resistance and once more open-shoved. This time, Niklas Astedt caleld and the rest of the table folded.

Niklas Astedt: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Bert Sevens: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Astedt doubled with jacks full.

It was then Astedt who jammed the next hand and Elio Fox called on the cutoff with fewer chips.

Elio Fox: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Niklas Astedt: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} board kept the bubble alive as Fox also remained in contention.

Pardo Cannot Bluff Nolet

Level 29 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

Juan Pardo Dominguez opened the action with a raise to 70,000 and Guillaume Nolet flat-called in the cutoff, Adrian Mateos filled up out of the big blind. The flop brought {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Mateos check-folded to a bet of 66,500 by Pardo and a call by Nolet.

Pardo also bet the {k-Diamonds} turn for 122,500, which was called once more, and then led the {j-Spades} river for 318,500. Nolet, unfazed and without using his time bank, called. Pardo revealed {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Nolet dragged in the pot with {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} for broadway.
