Back-to-Back Doubles for Erceg
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Hand One:
Vladimir Erceg moved all in for 55,000 from the button and Fabiano Kovalski called in the small blind.
Vladimir Erceg: A♣6♠ 
Fabiano Kovalski: 3♥3♠
Erceg's tournament run was all but over on the 8♦7♦9♥Q♦ runout, however, the 10♥ river improved him to a straight to double up.
Hand Two:
The very next hand Erceg moved all in from the cutoff for 190,000. Jack Kiriakus, in the big blind, toyed with his big blind in such a manner that he retrieved his chips from the middle, only to return them to the same place. The floor was called as his intent seemed ambiguous, eventually ruling the motion as a call.
Vladimir Erceg: A♠J♠
Jack Kiriakus: 9♠7♦
The board ran out K♥5♦2♦4♠4♦; Kiriakus' mistake earned Erceg a second double up in a row.
