Hitt Flies American
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A player opened to 1,300 from middle position before Donald Hitt three-bet to 3,000 from the hijack. Michael Murphy called in the cutoff, as did the original opener.
On the 4♠4♥4♦ flop, it checked to Hitt who fired for 6,000 before Murphy clicked it to 12,000. The other opponent folded before Hitt jammed for 48,100, and Murphy begrudgingly called as the slightly covering stack after a small deliberation
Donald Hitt: A♠A♦ 
Michael Murphy: 8♦8♣
Hitt woke up with the ones as Murphy needed to find one of the remaining two snowmen to improve. However, the board ran out 6♥Q♣ and the aces held on to secure the full double for Hitt.
