Xarau Fades a Double Off De La Fouchardiere
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
David Xarau raised to 20,000 in early position and Attila Koncz called in the hijack. Hugo De La Fouchardiere then three-bet to 80,000 in the big blind and Xarau moved all in for 162,000. Koncz got out of the way, but De La Fouchardiere quickly called.
David Xarau: A♥K♥ 
Hugo De La Fouchardiere: A♦5♦
Xarau had De La Fouchardiere dominated and moved further ahead on the K♣6♣4♠ flop with top pair, but De La Fouchardiere picked up outs to a straight on the 3♥ turn. The river was a safe 6♠ for Xarau and he earned the double up.
