Covaciu Doubles via Kirby-Hogarty
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Per Johansen opened to 13,000 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 32,000 by Tobias Kirby-Hogarty in middle position. Paul Covaciu was in the hijack and he three-bet jammed to 71,000. Action folded back to Johansen, who got out of the way, but Kirby-Hogarty made the call.
Paul Covaciu: A?K? 
Tobias Kirby-Hogarty: 5?5?
Covaciu needed some help from the board, but looked to be heading for the exit after the 10?7?6? flop and Q? turn. However the A? rolled off on the river to save him and send him the pot.
