Mirzikinian on the Double Bubble
![[user217945]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Warwick Mirzikinian just put himself at risk twice on the bubble with a more than healthy stack to survive through the cash. But Mirzikinian's double bubble gamble antics paid off for him allowing to double up twice right here on bubble. The most interesting part is that he doubled twice through the same player.
We caught up to the first hand on the river. Mirzikinian had shoved all in on the river of a board reading 
and the player across the table from him made the call. The two players sat in silence while they waited for the floor to tell them it was ok to turn up their hands. Finally, after about four minutes of waiting, the ok was given and the two men showed their hands. Mirzikinian turned up 
for the second nut flush, and it was good as his opponent showed 
for just a flush with his .
That double up brought Mirzikinian up to just about 60,000 in chips.
The very next hand the same two players got into a tangle again. Mirzikinian ended up all in once more before the flop and the same gentleman at the other end of the table called him again, still with a covering stack. Once again the players were forced to wait about five minutes before turning up their hands and when they finally did, this is what was shown:
Mirzikinian: 
Opponent: 
When the hands were shown, the gentleman stood up from his chair and fist pumped because he was ahead in the hand so far.
The dealer put down the flop of 
giving Mirzikinian no extra outs, and keeping the gentleman out front. The turn was the keeping Mirzikinian's opponent ahead in the hand. But the river was everything Mirzikinian could've asked for and more when it came the to grant him his second double up through the same player in two hands.
With that Mirzikinian jumped up to just about 120,000 chips while his opponent was left with just a very short stack.
That is how Mirzikinian went from just an average stack starting hand for hand play, to one of the chip leaders in the room.
