Big Action on Table Four
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Samuel Rudin opened to 30,000 in early position before Yves Piacentino moved all in on his left for 164,000. Thomas Middleton then shoved his stack of 266,000, producing a fold from Rudin.
Yves Piacentino: A♣J♥ 
Thomas Middleton: 9♣9♦
Both players found a straight on the 10♠3♣Q♣K♦J♣ runout, but Piacentino made Broadway to double through Middleton.
On the very next hand, Middleton moved his last 102,000 in the hijack, with Hiroshi Nishiyama calling in the cutoff. Eugenio Peralta then moved all in from the big blind, with Nishiyama taking some time before getting out of the way.
Thomas Middleton: A♥Q♥
Eugenio Peralta: A♦J♠
The 5♥2♦8♦3♠2♥ runout was clean for Middleton, who climbed back to his previous stack by doubling through Peralta.
