Porter Doubles, and Doubles, and Doubles Again

Don't count out Rep Porter just yet. Down to 30,000 chips, he managed to triple up with {K-Hearts} {4-Spades} all in against Steven Fung's {8-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}.

"Just your standard king-four versus eight-deuce all in," joked John Monnette from the gallery.

The next hand, Porter was all in for 75,000 from the big blind. His {10-Clubs} {8-Spades} beat Thomas Bichon's {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs} when Porter turned an eight to make a pair.

"Six more!" Monnette shouted from the gallery.

Porter managed to fold one hand after that before moving in again with {A-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Bichon was in there with {K-Spades} {10-Spades}. On a board of {2-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {6-Clubs}, Porter's aces were better than Bichon's kings, giving Porter another double-up.

We have Porter on 480,000 chips now. That's not much at these blinds, but it's better than 30,000.
