Chris Dequatro just got a doubled up in what started as a coinflip hand with his pocket 3’s vs Michael Renna who held K10. Going to the river, Renna had about 18 outs to hit an over card, flush, or a gut shot straight but managed to miss everything to have his stack crippled and give Dequatro a much needed double up.

UTG Frankie Knecht open shoved all in for 370k, action folded around to Levan Bajelidze in the BB who tanked and made the call with just over 700k.

Knecht: KQ

Bajelidze:K5

Knecht holds up to double up and the very next hand Bajelidze moves all in for 340k in the SB and quickly called by Knecht in the BB.

This time a coin flip, Knecht with AK and Bajelidze with 1010. No Ace or King hits the board for Knecht to immediately double Bajelidze right back up.
