The game is limit hold'em now, and blinds are a staggering 6,000 and 12,000. On back-to-back hands, Sergey Ershou has doubled up the two shortest stacks on the table when they were in the big blind. Each time he raised, and they called all in. One time he tabled the worse hand, {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

against Adam Peck's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

, the other time the best hand, {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

against Taner Durst's {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

. It didn't matter; Ershou lost both hands. All three players are now rougly equal in chips.
