Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jonah Labranche was all-in and at risk from the small blind and up against Ryan Laplante, who sat under the gun.

Jonah Labranche: A♥A♠ All in
Ryan Laplante: 10♠10♣

Both had pocket pairs, but Laplante didn't improve on the 8♣7♦J♠2♣2♠ runout, and Labranche secured the double with aces.

A few tables across, Bruno Mota had just doubled up in the big blind against James Jeffrey on the button after Mota was all-in for his remaining 50,000 with pocket threes.

Bruno Mota: 3♦3♥ All in
James Jeffrey: K♦Q♣

The 10♦10♠2♥ flop gave Mota two pair and not much of a sweat. The 10♣ turn gave Mota a boat, and the 5♠ river secured him the double.
