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.
