Giroir Doubles Through Stenholm

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

There was loud uproar over in the gold section and the board was still there while the stack of Jerry Giroir was counted.

The completed board showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Giroir had just doubled for 113,000 with {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} while [Removed:153]'s {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} ended up second best. Stenholm had four-bet shoved from the cutoff and Girior called in the blinds to see his luck all but fade on the flop before regaining the lead on the turn.

Giroir's table neighbor joked "you can breathe now" and the table was all smiles, including Stenholm.
