Little Doubles

With a raise of 1,000 and then another to 3,300 before him, Jonathan Little moved all in for his last 7,125.

The original raiser folded, but the reraiser made the call to be in great shape with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} against Little's {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

However, when the board ran out {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}, Little doubled through to 15,900 in chips.

Give a Little Back

Double trouble
Double trouble
Antonio Esfandiari has given some of his newly acquired chips to Bill Edler. Esfandiari bet 2,200 on the {8-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} flop, 4,400 on the {A-Spades} turn and all in on the {Q-Clubs} river.

Edler called all the way and all in on the river, showing {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts} to take the pot as Esfandiari mucked.

Edler -- 43,000
Esfandiari -- 39,000

Filippi Fumbles

With a substantial amount already in the pot, Michael Hauptman pushed all in for his last 15,600 on a flop reading {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Amnon Filippi made the call and tabled his {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to be in the lead against Hauptman's {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

The turn and river fell running kings, with one of them being a spade to see Hauptman double to 43,000 as Filippi slipped to 30,000 in chips.

Staying Alive

Erik Cajelais has just doubled through Phil Ivey to 10,000. It all went in preflop with his {A-?} {9-?} up against Ivey's {Q-?} {8-?}. The board came {Q-Spades} {7-Clubs} {J-Spades} {3-Clubs} {A-Clubs}. After falling behind on the flop, Cajelais caught an ace on the river to stay alive.
