Assadour Assadourian has surged of late courtesy of two double ups, both through Shilton Smith.

In the first hand Smith made an opening raise with {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Assadourian moved all in with {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Smith made the call and the board ran out {q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} to double Assadourian through.

Just two hands later Smith opened to 24,000 and Assadourian flat called. The flop came {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Spades} and they both checked. The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Smith check-raised all in over a 35,000 chip bet from Assadourian.

"Your all in?" asked Assadourian, in a surprised tone. Smith nodded. "Well I'm all in too!" added Assadourian, before he turned over {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for top set. Smith had {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

The river was the {2-Hearts} moving Assadourian over 300,000 in chips. Smith drops back down to around 620,000.
