Pascal Lefrancois Doubles Big Through Benny Chen

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

When we arrived at the table, the dealer was busy confirming the stack of Pascal Lefrancois, who had just doubled big through Benny Chen. We missed the action, but by the look of the cards — the board read {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades} — the chips likely got in on the flop.

Chen: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Lefrancois: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Chen had flopped top set, but Lefrancois flopped the nuts which held when neither the turn nor river paired the board.
