Yu Doubles On Back-to-Back Hands
Rokas Asipauskas raised to 120,000 from early position, and when it folded to Lei Yu in the small blind, he three-bet all in for 420,000. After the big blind folded, Asipauskas made the call to put Yu at risk.
Lei Yu: 9♥9♦ 
Rokas Asipauskas: A♦10♣
It was a flip for Yu's tournament life, and when the board ran out 2♣K♠J♥6♣7♠ the pocket nines of Yu remained best, to give him the double up.
The very next hand, Archibald Seaton raised from under the gun to 120,000 and once it folded to Yu on the button, he three-bet all in for 960,000. Then the small blind Vlad Darie made the call, which got Seaton to fold, leaving the players heads up, with Yu at risk.
Lei Yu: Q♥Q♦
Vlad Darie: 7♥7♦
Yu had the best of it with his pocket queens, and after the board ran out 10♣6♠3♣A♠5♣ his pocket queens were still best, securing two double ups on back-to-back hands.
