Ryan D'Angelo Doubles Up

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Ryan D'Angelo
Ryan D'Angelo

On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}, action checked to Ryan D'Angelo and he bet 4,500. A player in the blinds made a pot-sized check-raise, D'Angelo moved all in, and his opponent called.

D'Angelo: {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-}{7-}{6-}{5-}

Both players had flopped two pair, but D'Angelo had by far the best of it with top two to his opponent's bottom two. The {Q-Hearts} fell on the turn to give D'Angelo queens full of nines and leave his opponent drawing dead, the meaningless {4-Hearts} fell on the river, and D'Angelo scooped the pot to double up.

Allen Sternberg Doubles Through Joey Ingram

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

With about 20,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {K-}{5-}{4-}, Allen Sternberg bet 20,000 from the hijack into his lone opponent in the cutoff, Joey Ingram, who called.

The {J-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Sternberg, who had already committed the majority of his stack, moved all in. Ingram called and the two players tabled their hands.

Sternberg: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Ingram: {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}

Things were looking promising for Sternberg and grim for Ingram heading to the river. The final card was the {10-Diamonds}, securing the double-up for Sternberg.

Matt Repinski Doubles Up

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Matt Repinski got all his chips in against a single opponent on a flop of {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Repinski tabled {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} for the flopped nut straight, and his opponent showed {A-Clubs}{A-}{Q-}{2-Spades}.

Repinski had a commanding lead when the chips went in, and neither the {2-Diamonds} turn nor the {K-Clubs} river changed anything, so he doubled up.

Adilbek Karayuishiyev Doubles with Aces Against Aces

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Joey Ingram called 3,000 from the button, Adilbek Karayuishiyev raised to 12,000 from the small blind, the big blind made a pot-sized raise, Ingram folded, and Karayuishiyev called for the remainder of his stack.

Karayuishiyev: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Big blind: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Both players had single-suited aces with low connecting sidecards, so a chop looked likely, but the board ran out {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} to give Karayuishiyev the nut flush for the double-up.
