Lazaro Hernandez moved all in under the gun for 15,000, and Byron Kaverman moved all in over the top from the small blind with Jc10c. Hernandez turned over Qc7h, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Kd8s5c4sAs, and Hernandez won the pot with his queen to double up in chips.

Lazaro Hernandez  –  40,000  (8 bb)
Byron Kaverman  –  345,000  (69 bb)

A few minutes later, Hernandez got it all in preflop with 5x5x against Ax10x.

The board came AxKx9x5x7x — his opponent flopped a pair of aces, but Hernandez turned a set of fives to win the pot and double up in chips again.

Lazaro Hernandez  –  97,000  (19 bb)
