Franchi Doubles Up
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Five-way on a flop of 7♠5♥J♦, Mourad Tounnouti in middle position bet 10,700. The button and the blinds folded, but Malcolm Franchi raised all-in for 27,600 from under the gun. "Kings?" Tounnouti asked, before making the call.
Malcolm Franchi: K♠J♠ 
Mourad Tounnouti: J♣10♣
Both players flopped top pair but Franchi had a better kicker. The 9♦2♦ runout didn't change the outcome of the hand and Franchi doubled up, a few minutes after he reentered the tournament.
