Phillips Doubles

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Marcy Jo Phillips led 50,000 into an {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop heads up with Scott Muwara.

Muwara put in a raise to 170,000 total, setting her all in. She called with {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and top pair was good against his {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flush draw. The {8-Diamonds} turn and {k-Diamonds} river ensured the doubled up.

Burgstahler Doubles Twice

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Rob Burgstahler doubled through Bob Koerntgen with nines against sevens.

Then he did it again, calling a Marcy Jo Phillips shove on his raise with {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} and flopping a king to beat her {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

From almost zero to hero, he's now up near the top of the counts.
