Secondary Table Hands #116-118: Two Double-Ups For Steven
Hand #116: The very next hand after being crippled by Christoph Vogelsang it was Brandon Steven who moved all in from the button for 420,000. Rick Salomon gave up his small blind and the German pro called.
Steven: 
Vogelsang: 
The board ran out 
and Steven kept his hopes alive by, more than, doubling up.
Hand #117: Brandon Steven moved all in from the cutoff for about 950,000 and Rick Salomon called from his immediate left. Both blinds folded and the showdown went as following.
Steven: 
Salomon: 
The board ran out 
and Steven found himself another double up! Back-to-back double ups have put Steven back in the race, but he still one double up shy of having a comfortable stack to play with.
Hand #118: Christophe Vogelsang raised from the button to 625,000 and Cary Katz tanked for quite a while before three-betting from the big blind to 2,800,000. Vogelsang folded and Katz picked up this pot.
