Two Doubles for Team The Victory Bell

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a hand relayed to PokerNews by Paul Oren, Oren moved all-in for his last 4,000 from early position and was called by a player in the small blind.

Paul Oren: 64
Small Blind: K5

It was Yhatzee on the flop for Oren after the dealer rolled out 857, giving Oren an eight-high straight. The player in the small blind had some chop and backdoor flush outs, but the 2 turn and the 9 river closed the door and gave Oren the first of his two double-ups.

In the second hand, action was folded to Oren on the button and again he moved all-in, this time for 7,400, and was called by both blinds.

Paul Oren: Q5
Small Blind: KxQx
Big Blind: 10x10x

With only one heart on the flop of J27, Oren was in dire need of some running cards in order to stay alive and quietly stated, "heart," under his breath.

He would get what he asked for in the form of the K on the turn, now repeating a little louder, "Heart."

The poker gods would answer again on the 3 river, with Oren exclaiming, "HEART!" Giving him the second double-up.
