Franchi Doubles in Battle of France
Level 38
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Malcolm Franchi raised to 2,400,000 on the button and fellow countryman Malo Latinois three-bet to 9,000,000 in the small blind. It folded back to Franchi, who went deep into the tank. He eventually jammed for 15,100,000 and Latinois called.
Malcolm Franchi: 10♥10♦ 
Malo Latinois: 5♦5♥
The dominating pair remained ahead on the A♣6♥2♥ but had to endure a sweat on the 4♦ turn, as Latinois now picked up a gutshot as well. However, the J♣ river was a blank and Franchi doubled to swap positions with Latinois.
