Hefter Doubles Through Lakhov

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Viktor Kovachev's seat was empty while Ryan Hefter just scored a double through Alexander Lakhov. Hefter opened to 2,100 and Lakhov three-bet to 6,200 from one seat over before Hefter shoved for 27,000. Lakhov called and both players turned over pocket pairs.

Ryan Hefter: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Alexander Lakhov: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The board came {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and the defending champion doubled.

Right after, John Racener opened from early position and called the shove of Chris Ferguson in the big blind for 3,300. Racener showed {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and was trailing the {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} of Ferguson. Racener got there on the {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, but Ferguson turned the {J-Spades} to make the {3-Clubs} river a formality.

The battle of the "player of the year" contenders went to Ferguson, who remains short on 10 big blinds.
