Two Doubles on the Bubble

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

There were two all in and call on the money bubble on different tables and Alexander Lakhov was awaiting his fate, the all in was already called by Aaron Duczak. One table over, James Akenhead raised to 7,000 and Chris Ferguson three-bet the pot out of the blinds. Akenhead shoved for 24,100 and Ferguson called with the superior stack.

James Akenhead: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Chris Ferguson: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

"Of course he has aces, he hasn't played a hand in ages," Roman Cieslik said before the board ran out {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}. "I know what hand he has, but I cannot fold," Akenhead replied after he rivered the straight to survive on the bubble and leave Ferguson very short in chips.

Over on the other table, the cards were now also turned over.

Alexander Lakhov: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Aaron Duczak: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board of {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} was a roller coaster for Lakhov, who had top set on the flop but was in need of the board to pair. Running eights ensured just that and he also doubled.
