Zaichenko Doubles . . . Twice

A short-stacked Andrey Zaichenko raised all in from under the gun and received some protection as Alexander Kuzmin three-bet from the button. The blinds got out of the way and the cards turned up.

Zaichenko: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Kuzmin: {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out a clean {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{A-Spades} and Zaichenko doubled.

Two hands later, Zaichenko got all in again preflop with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and was ahead the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} of Samuel Golbuff. He was in good shape to double yet again, especially after the flop fell {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}; however, the {J-Hearts} turn hit Golbuff and left Zaichenko drawing to a queen. Wouldn't you know it, the {Q-Clubs} spiked on the river to save Zaichenko's tournament life, much to the delight of his supporters in the crowd.
