Campbell With Miracle Double
Alan Myerson and Ronnie Brown have been eliminated and Robert Campbell may very well have been the next casualty to reduce the field further. However, he doubled in spectacular fashion and then doubled a second time. Both times, it was George Alexander that had to suffer.

Two jacks were gone according to table chat by Scott Cole, and Robert Campbell instead got there with running eights to improve to a full house, while Alexander's straight on sixth was no good anymore. It was a pure one-outer for Campbell to remain in contention.

Campbell was then all in after he paired his eight on sixth, which caused plenty of laughter at the table. Alexander was pained and sighed, "I could be drawing dead already," before calling and showing his pair of sixes. Campbell had nines and eights, and Alexander bricked off on seventh to allow Campbell to double once more.
