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.
