Kozin and Mukhamedzhanov Both Double

Level 1 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Andrei Kozin had his stack of around 137,000 in the middle from the button against a player in the middle position.

Andrei Kozin: K♠K♦ All in
Middle Position: 9♠9♥

Kozin had the cowboys and reduced his opponent to just one out on the 8♦A♦10♦ flop. A 10♠ on the turn brought back an out, but the J♠ river confirmed Kozin's double.

On the adjacent table at the same time, the board read 10♦2♠A♦9♥J♣, and Iliyas Mukhamedzhanov had fired the river only for Anton Arkhipenkov to shove his stack in. Mukhamedzhanov took some time to think it over and eventually tossed in a single chip to call.

Arkhipenkov showed a set with 2♦2♣, but that was no good as Mukhamedzhanov had a higher set holding A♣A♥ to win the pot.
