Deniz Doubles Up Two Opponents
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
It's not been a good few minutes for Mehmet Deniz, as he doubled up two of his short-stacked opponents.
First. Maksim Shornikau shoved from under the gun for 1,950,000 and Deniz called on the button.
Maksim Shornikau: K♠9♠ 
Mehmet Deniz: 7♥7♦
Shornikau found himself in a flip, one he took firm control of on the 3♠A♠9♣ flop with a pair and flush draw. He improved to trips on the 9♥ turn, and held on through the 2♥ river.
In the next hand, Deniz raised to 500,000 from the cutoff and Nebi Baysal shoved around 1,800,000 from the small blind. Deniz called.
Nebi Baysal: A♣10♥
Mehmet Deniz: J♥9♥
Baysal flopped two pair on 10♦A♦3♦ and held through the 3♠Q♣ runout, which earned him a double-up.
