Hansen Doubles through Benyamine

It's a tennis match on Table 4 between David Benyamine and Gus Hansen. Hansen had the early lead; then Benyamine doubled and took the lead. Now Hansen has come storming back with a double of his own after his {A-?} {Q-?} held up all in preflop against Benyamine's {A-?} {9-?}.

That put Benyamine back on the short stack; he moved in preflop shortly thereafter with {7-?} {8-?} and Hansen called with {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. The board ran out {A-?} {J-?} {2-?} {2-?} {J-?}. Both players played the board and chopped the pot.
