Lafaye Finds a Miracle Double
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Glenn Lafaye and Anas Benohod built a pot of around 20,000 heading to the 7♦K♣8♣ flop when Lafaye bet 7,000 from the hijack. Benohod instantly moved a stack of chips forward for a raise, and Lafaye snap-called for his last 39,300.
Glenn Lafaye: A♣K♣
Anas Benohod: A♥A♠
Lafaye had flopped top pair but was in bad shape against Benohod's aces. The turn, though, came the K♥ and Lafaye made trips to take the lead.
Benohod now needed to hit the last remaining ace in the deck but couldn't find it on the 7♠ river as Lafaye doubled up.
