Herring Doubles Through Vaillancourt

A short stacked Heath Herring has been biding his time and waiting for a hand for quite some time now. Finally, we saw Herring move his stack of roughly 30,000 all in from the button. The small blind folded his hand and Noah Vaillancourt called from the big blind.

Vaillancourt: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Herring: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board came down {3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Herring was able to score the double up, boosting his stack to about 63,000 and giving him a bit more breathing room as the money bubble looms.
