Borella Finds Back to Back Double Ups
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Simon Britton moved all in from under the gun for 625,000 and Steven Borella called in the hijack for 90,000, putting himself at risk.
Steven Borella: A?2? 
Simon Britton: 5?5?
Borella pulled ahead on the A?4?7? flop, hitting his ace, but Britton drilled the 5? on the turn, hitting a set. The 3? river saved Borella, who pulled ahead once again and bested Britton's set with a straight.
The very next hand, Borella and Britton got it all in preflop again, this time with Borella holding Ax10x and Britton having Ax3x. The board ran out Q?2?2?5?9?, and Borella doubled up once again. Britton was left with 140,000.
