Two Double Ups in a Row
Rachid Am raised first to act, making it 55,000 to go, and he picked up three callers in Mathieu Papineau, Rati Vale Il Dieko and Aleksandras Voisnis on the button. The flop of 
was checked to Voisnis, who bet 70,000, and Am called.
Papineau got out of the way before Il Dieko check-shoved for more than 770,000. Voisnis called all in and Am asked for a brief count on both stacks before folding.
Aleksandras Voisnis: 
Rati Vale Il Dieko: 
The 
on the turn secured the double for the Lithuanian, and the 
river played no significant role anymore. Voisnis doubled for 496,000 and Il Dieko dropped to just over 270,000.
In the very next hand, Rati Vale Il Dieko open-shoved and Am called from the big blind.
Rati Vale Il Dieko: 
Rachid Am: 
The 
flop gave Am the lead, but Il Dieko got there on the 
turn. A split pot was still possible, however the 
river blanked and Il Dieko doubled for 271,000.
