Mariz and Greenwood Double Up

Level 11 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a flop of {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Pablo Mariz and Dylan Ellis got all of their chips in the middle with Mariz being at risk for around 1,400,000. Mariz showed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a set of nines while Ellis had {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a set of fours. The {7-Clubs} on the turn and the {j-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing as Mariz scored a double up.

In the next hand, it was Max Greenwood all in for 490,000 and Mariz was his opponent. Greenwood tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and was flipping against the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} of Mariz. The board ran out {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Greenwood also found a double up.
