It's Double City Over Here
A flurry of big doubles have prevented the bubble from bursting.
First up was a big heads-up pot with K♠3♠Q♦4♣ on the board. Action checked to Jason Isbell, who tossed out a 20,000 bet. Ron Slucker made it 75,000 and Karl Grant called before Isbell ducked out of the way. Slucker shoved immediately on the 5♣ turn and Grant called with his last 75,000 to turn over 7♠6♠ for a straight. Slucker was shocked and he showed his Q♠Q♥ before he tossed them in the muck.
Nearby, Tom Millward raised to 15,000 and Perry Johnston shoved 80,000. Millward called and the cards were turned up.
Perry Johnston: Q♣Q♦ 
Tom Millward: 10♦10♣
The board ran out A♦9♠3♠J♦9♥ and Johnston held on for the double.
One hand later, Kelly Salgado got her last 88,000 into the middle and Albennes Armstrong looked her up.
Kelly Salgado: Q♥Q♠
Albennes Armstrong: [J♠J♥
The board ran out 3♦5♦4♥9♣Q♣ and the queens held to keep Salgado in the mix.
Play continues hand-for-hand with 66 runners remaining.
