Vladimir Geshkenbein Doubles, Then Breaks

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Just after break we caught Vladimir Geshkenbein all in against another player after getting all the money in preflop. Geshkenbein was holding {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} against an opponents {A-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. The board ran out {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} giving Geshkenbein the winning pair of eights and allowing him to double up to just about 5,000.

On the very next hand though, Geshkenbein moved all in and was called by an opponents better {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. The board didn't run out in favor of Geshkenbein a second time and he was removed from the tournament.
