Lunkin Doubles Up Before DInner

We're less than ten minutes until the dinner break, a good time for some of the shorter stacks to "double up or go home", as they say. Vitaly Lunkin moved his stack of 37,300 chips into the middle from the big blind after Marco Johnson opened to 6,000. Johnson got a count before calling with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Lunkin showed {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and the race was on. It was a {q-Spades} in the window, but that card was followed by the {7-Clubs} and {9-Diamonds}. Lunkin made a set of nines, which held with the {4-Clubs} turn and {8-Clubs} river. He doubled to about 80,000, while Johnson is down to 8,000.
