Stefan Martin Doubles Through David Daneshgar....Twice

Action folded around to David Daneshgar in the cutoff seat and he raised to 12,000. Stefan Martin moved all in from the small blind for about 15,000 total and Daneshgar quickly called. The players showed:

Daneshgar: {5-Spades} {4-Clubs}
Martin: {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}

The threes held up on the {10-?} {8-?} {2-?} {7-?} {8-?} board and Martin doubled up.

The very next hand, Daneshgar raised to 14,000 from late position, and Martin moved all in for about 36,000 from the button and Daneshgar called. Martin held {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} against the {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds} of Daneshgar. The nines held and Martin doubled again. As the pot was being pushed, Daneshgar joked "I'm like your ATM machine."

Martin now commands a stack of about 75,000 while Daneshgar slips to roughly 200,000.
