Zaichenko Doubles . . . Twice
A short-stacked Andrey Zaichenko raised all in from under the gun and received some protection as Alexander Kuzmin three-bet from the button. The blinds got out of the way and the cards turned up.
Zaichenko: 
Kuzmin: 
The board ran out a clean 
and Zaichenko doubled.
Two hands later, Zaichenko got all in again preflop with 
and was ahead the 
of Samuel Golbuff. He was in good shape to double yet again, especially after the flop fell 
; however, the 
turn hit Golbuff and left Zaichenko drawing to a queen. Wouldn't you know it, the 
spiked on the river to save Zaichenko's tournament life, much to the delight of his supporters in the crowd.
