Pollak and Arki Double

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jonathan Dwek, sporting a superman costume, raised to 50,000 in the first hand of Day 5, and Benjamin Pollak moved all in for 235,000, which Dwek quickly called.

Pollak: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Dwek: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board came {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{K-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Pollak locked up the double on the turn.

Another Frenchman scored an early double as well, though under very fortunate circumstances. Romain Arki pushed from the small blind with the {10-Spades}{6-Spades} and Scott Hilton called in the big blind with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. The {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop all but sealed Arki's fate, but the {4-Diamonds} turn and {J-Diamonds} river completed the board, giving Arki a straight.
