Barnett Doubles Twice
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Evan Barnett opened to 30,000 in early position, and made the call after Anthony Pagan asked for the rest of his short stack from the big blind.
Evan Barnett: K♦7♦ 
Anthony Pagan: K♠7♣
Both players turned over the same hand, but the J♥4♦J♠A♦Q♦ runout left Barnett with a flush to score the improbable double.
On the very next hand, Barnett raised most of his stack and Pagan called in the small blind. The rest of the chips went in on the 6♣3♠J♠ flop.
Evan Barnett: 10♣10♦
Anthony Pagan: A♦Q♠
Barnett survived the 5♠ turn and 3♣ river, doubling up again through Pagan.
