Castrillon Fontan and Joni Jouhkimainen both doubled their belongings, and both did it at the expense of François Billard. That being said, Billard picks up so many pots that he barely felt those 2 hits.
After Billard made it 5M to go, Fontan shoved 19.8M. Billard snapped.

Some 10 minutes later, it was Alexandros Kolonias’s turn to feed off the man in charge. From the small blind, Billard opened to 5.5M. Kolonias went all-in, got called, and both players went to showdown.

Billard lost about 50M across these 2 hands, but when a player pick up so many pots, it is much easier to handle the showdown swings.
