Houangvahn Doubles Again
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Miles Barnum opened the action with a raise to 8,000 in middle position and Anthony Houangvahn three-bet jammed in the hijack for 38,500. Chandra Kontham then reshoved in the small blind and Barnum got out of the way.
Anthony Houangvahn: A♥K♦ 
Chandra Kontham: A♣Q♣
The flop came J♦A♦9♣ with Houangvahn's ace-king still in the lead. The turn landed the J♠ and the river brought the 8♠ and Houangvahn's king kicker was in play to earn him the double up.
