Siegel Gets Two Miracle Doubles
Niveau 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Eric Siegel was all in for 1,030,000 and up against Daniel Samson.
Eric Siegel: 8?8? 
Daniel Samson: K?K?
Samson had woken up with kings to leave Siegel at risk of elimination as the board came 7?A?5?2?, but Siegel caught the 8? on the river to make a set and double up.
A few hands later, Victor Paredes raised to 160,000 under the gun, Siegel moved all in for 2,100,000 in the big blind, and Paredes snap-called.
Eric Siegel: A?K?
Victor Paredes: A?A?
Siegel had again run into a big pocket pair and needed a miracle to stay alive. The flop was J?4?Q?, while the 10? turn gave him a straight and the lead. The river was the 2? and Siegel once again doubled up.
