Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

On two tables back to back we had a couple of double-ups.

The first one was with Phil Hellmuth who got it all in preflop for 2,150 roughly. He was called by another player that had apparently chipped up off him earlier. Hellmuth tabled {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and his opponent showed {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {q-Spades}, giving Hellmuth a flush and the pot. He exclaimed, "If you're gonna double someone up, you want to double up someone that can win the tournament."

On the other table, Brandon Barrow and his opponent got it all in preflop for 5,500 with Barrow tabling {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and his opponent showing {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The dealer ran out the board {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} {2-Spades} {k-Diamonds} and Barrow got the full double.
