After losing the majority of his chips to Brandon Hall, Eric Baldwin has surged back from 190,000 to 710,000, courtesy of a pair of quick doubles ups.

In the first hand, he open-shoved holding {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

and was called by Hall, who challenged with {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

. The board ran out {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

giving Baldwin two pair -- queens and sixes -- to take down the pot.

A couple of hands later, Baldwin open-shoved again -- this time for 325,000, holding {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{(6d). Robert Mizrachi made the call with {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and a

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

gave him a pair of tens and the lead.

That lead was short-lived, however, as the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

peeled off on the turn, giving Baldwin top pair. An inconsequential {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

fell on the river and Baldwin raked in the pot, worth 710,000 in chips.
