Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Wow. We've just seen players double up on back-to-back hands, and improbably, they were holding pocket aces both times. On the first hand, action folded to Anthony Wright in the small blind, and he announced all in, a move that would set the big blind, Daniel Spence, all in. Almost before the dealer could confirm that Wright had said all in, Spence said "I call."

Spence: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Wright: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

It was a blind vs blind cooler for Wright, who was looking for a ten to secure the knockout. It never came though, as the board ran down {k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Spades}. That hand bumped Spence up to 330,000, while knocking Wright down to 200,000.

On the very next hand, Jim Collopy raised it up to 25,000. It folded to Spence in the small blind, and he said "I'm all in." Collopy rechecked his hole cards, then quickly dropped chips into the pot, signifying a call.

Spence: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Collopy: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

This time, Spence was the one up against it, and while the flop brought all spades, {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}, it was useless to Spence, as Collopy held the {a-Spades}. The {10-Clubs} on the turn ended it, and the meaningless river was the {2-Hearts}.

When the dust settled, Collopy was left with 480,000, while Spence plummeted all the way to 75,000.
