Hasbani Doubles Through LeBlond
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
On a flop of 6♥9♦7♦, Antoine Hasbani got the last of his chips in and was put at risk by Benjamin LeBlond, for a pot worth around 80,000.
Antoine Hasbani: 9♣8♣
Benjamin LeBlond: J♥J♣
LeBlond was in the lead with his pair of jacks, but had to dodge a world of outs as Hasbani had an open-ender with a pair. That pair improved to trips on the 9♠ turn, which left LeBlond with just two outs to secure the knockout.
Neither of those jacks appeared on the 4♥ river, and Hasbani doubled up.
