Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We had a rush of double ups as four players doubled their stacks.

Ray Qartomy pushed all in from the button with {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Jim Jakobsen woke up with aces in the small blind to call with: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Qartomy didn't improve on the board of {6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Jakobsen got the double.

Then we caught up with Jason Vanstrom with quad sixes raking in the chips as he earned a double up through Rajaee Wazwaz.

On a flop of {4-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, Justin Wilks bet out 35,000, Dominick Minaya shipped all in, and Wilks made the call. Minaya had the best hand with {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} by the time the turn and river fell {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, giving him the flush and the double, leaving Wilks very short.

Lastly, Jeffrey Finkelstein pushed all in preflop and got a call from Matt Stout with the big stack.

Finkelstein: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Stout: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Stout couldn't catch up, giving Finkelstein twice as many chips as he started the hand with.
