Choi Doubles Through Stefanski, Then Doubles Up Toscano

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Bryan Choi was all in and at risk for 402,000 after a preflop raising war, and David Stefanski had him crushed.

Choi: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Stefanski: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Stefanski remained in the lead after the flop ({a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades}) and the turn ({9-Spades}), but the {7-Hearts} spiked on the river to give Choi a straight. Stefanski slapped the felt and cussed under his breath, but quickly collected himself to cut out enough chips to pass across the felt to Choi.

A few hands later, Choi raised from under the gun, Frank Toscano moved all in for 172,000 from middle position, and David Tuthill cold-called in the small blind. Choi re-shoved for effectively 740,000, and Tuthill tank-folded.

Choi: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Toscano: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

This time Choi had the dominant hand in two queens, but they were again cracked as the flop came {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, giving Toscano a straight. The turn and river bricked off {4-Clubs}, {a-Diamonds} respectively, and neither player held a diamond, so the straight was good for a double.
