Doubles for Paschalidis and Chan, Triple for Yong
Antonios Paschalidis had been nursing his short-stack for quite some time looking for a good spot to double up and finally found it against Manig Loeser.
Both players got all the chips in pre-flop with Paschalidis holding ace-king and Loeser holding ace-queen.
The Greek player looked distinctly unhappy when the 
flop gave Loeser the lead, so unhappy in fact that he almost missed the fact that he backed into the nuts when the rest of the hand ran out 
.
The Greek rail went wild and Paschalidis doubled to 1.1 million while Loeser dropped to 2.3 million.
Peter Chan doubled up almost immediately afterward over on the other table, moving all-in for his last 500,000 from the button over the top of a Chan Wai Leong mid-position open.

Chan Wai Leong: 
The board ran out 
to grant the Hong Kong player a much needed double and he stacked up to just over 1 million while Leong dropped to 1.4 million.
Two hands later Richard Yong got in on the action and went one better. Steffen Sontheimer moved all-in from middle position, John Juanda re-shoved from the button and Yong called it off from the big blind.

Yong found himself in great shape and earned the triple when the board ran out 
to climb to 1.2 million.
