Reitman Doubles, Then Gives a Little Back

Joe Reitman raised to 15,000 on the board of {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {9-Clubs} after his opponent bet 4,000. The player then moved all in and Reitman called, holding {9-Spades} {7-Spades}. His opponent held pocket queens. The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Reitman was able to double up to the tune of 65,000 chips.

On the next hand though, Reitman doubled up the opponent that just doubled up him, costing him about 12,000 chips. Reitman held {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} against his opponent's {3-?} {2-?}. The board ran out {Q-?} {Q-?} {8-?} {K-?} {2-?} to give the player the double up.
