Dean DellaDonne just celebrated loud and long after a recent double up, so we headed over to take a look.

His {A-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} was laid out in front of his stack with the final board showing {6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Wazir Baksh was the recipient of the beat, as he had flopped two pair with {5-}{6-}, only to find himself counterfeited by DellaDonne's pocket rockets.

The pot contained more than 30,000 when the all-in wager was made, and DellaDonne risked his last 37,400.

Baksh still holds one of the largest stacks in the room, with this win he would have held more than five times the average. DellaDonne, meanwhile, surged up the leaderboard by eclipsing the 100,000-chip plateau.
