Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Two Doubles Simultaneously

Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 18
Chip Average: 3,100,000

Both tables had players all-in and at risk at the same time, with the shorter stack winning both of the hands.  First it would be Sean Wright all-in pre with A K♣ against the 9 9 of Bill Strong.  The board would runout 4♠ Q K♠ 7♠ 4♣ and Sean would double up to 1,100,000.  After losing the hand and doubling up Wright, Bill Strong would be left with 2,600,000.

At Table 57, one of the bigger hands of the day was unfolding between Stephen Press and A. Nonymous.  The action (caught on the flop) saw Press raising A. Nonymous enough to put him all-in on a flop of 2♠ 3♠ 4.  Nonymous thought for a few moments, as he was holding close to 2,100,000 behind.  Press's pressure was not enough to get a fold, and the call would be made, with both hands being tabled:

Flop: 2♠ 3♠ 4

Press: 3x 5x        Nonymous: Kx Kx

Turn: 9

River: Q

Press would have to ship over 2,150,000 to Nonymous, who now sits with 4,600,000 in front of him.  Stephen began to re-stack his remaining chips, down to what is now 2,700,000.
