It is correct to have "that" twice in a row here because each "that" is used as a different type of pronoun. Here, the first "that" is a relative pronoun, which introduces a dependent clause. The second "that" is a demonstrative pronoun, which refers to a specific object. While it is grammatically correct, using "that" twice in a row should be avoided when possible because it can cause confusion and not sound eloquent.
