Gregory Jensen opened to 15,000 from the hijack and Leon Sturm movd all in for his remaining 70,000 from the cutoff. Action folded around to Jensen who made the call and the players went to showdown.

Leon Sturm: 5♠5♦All in
Gregory Jensen: A♣9♦

Sturm held on the 4♥6♦J♣K♠2♥ runout, to put himself back up to 155,000.

In the next hand, he was all in again from the cutoff and covered by Samuel Mullur in the big blind.

Leon Sturm: A♣J♥All in
Samuel Mullur: Q♠10♠

The 4♠8♥6♥ flop looked good for Sturm, and there was little sweat as the dealer placed the 4♣ turn and 9♥ river. Sturm secured another double up and had gone from 70,000 to 319,000 in a matter of minutes.
