Barnum Doubles Through Baime

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Miles Barnum
Miles Barnum

Miles Barnum from the button and Ken Baime in the big blind got into a raising war preflop.

Baime had a raise of 322,000 already in front of him, but Barnum moved back over the top for 805,000. Baime called and Barnum was at risk.

Miles Barnum: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Ken Baime: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Barnum's aces ran into a little bit of trouble on the {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop but the {a-Spades} turn had him just dodging jacks. The river {7-Clubs} fell on the river and Barnum doubled.

Kapoor Doubles on First Hand of Final Table

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jason Kapoor
Jason Kapoor

On the first hand back from break, Jason Kapoor and Kevin Malis got it in preflop, with Kapoor at risk.

Jason Kapoor: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Kevin Malis: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Kapoor was in front with his cowboys and the {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs} runout was clean as he doubled up to nearly two million.

It's been quite a spin-up for Kapoor. He only had a single big blind left not too long ago, now he's sitting among the leaders. He is mourning the unexpected death of a close friend and has dedicated his play today to him.
