Grospellier and Moron Double Up

Level 8 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

At one table, Bertrand Grospellier was seen raking in a double up after getting his last 48,000 chips in the middle with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and James D'Ambrosio had his cards in the muck already.

At the other end of the room, Benjamin Reason raised to 6,500 on the button and Ignacio Moron jammed all in for 77,200 in the big blind. Reason called and the cards were on their backs.

Ignacio Moron: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Benjamin Reason: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

The flop of {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} boded well for Reason's pocket sixes but the {a-Diamonds} on the turn gave Moron a pair of aces. The river was the {k-Spades} and Moron scored a double up as well.
