[user4144]

In the space of just two hands, Alexander Eder both doubled through, and doubled out.

The 'rise' came in a battle of the blinds confrontation with Yoeri van Erp, the latter pushing from the small blind with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

and being snap-called by {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

in the big. A {6-Clubs}

board, however, delivered Eder his one of three outs to see his stack increase two fold to 4,700.

The 'fall' came courtesy of Noel Ramu, the latter's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

slightly behind against Eder's {8-Spades}

. The

seemed safe as houses, but the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

on the turn virtually sealed the deal. At this point, Eder made a noise as if someone had plucked a hair from his eyebrows, before the {2-Diamonds}

river confirmed his demise.

Meanwhile, Ramu appears to be close to the 20,000 mark.
