A Pair of Doubles
The first elimination was followed by two doubles ups by short stacks. First, Jaspal Brar survived thanks to pocket aces topping the pocket jacks of Eric Crain in a pot that was shoved preflop. Harb doubled to 385,000 and Crain was down to 500,000. Then it was Nicolas Halvorson survived with trip tens to take his stack to 150,000 against Brar (250,000 after the hand).
Tim Reilly Doubles Through Allen Cunningham
Allen Cunningham raised to 20,000 UTG+1 and Tim Reilly called on the button. Lev Rofman called on the big blind and the flop was dealt 766. Rofman checked and Cunningham bet 35,000. Reilly called and Rofman folded. The turn fell K and Cunningham bet 50,000.
Reilly raised all in for 137,000 and Cunningham called with 1010. Reilly flipped over AA and they held up after the 3 peeled off the deck on the river. Reilly doubled to 400,000 and Cunningham was down to a little less than that.
