Hira Doubles Through Blanc
Level 6
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alexandre Blanc raised to 2,500 and Ashley Hira three-bet to 5,000 thereafter. Two players called and Blanc made it 22,000 to go, which only Hira called.
On a flop of 8♥5♥3♠, they got it in with Hira as the player at risk for 38,000.
Ashley Hira: A♥2♥ 
Alexandre Blanc: K♣K♥
The turn was the 2♣ to give Hira a few more outs and he then spiked the A♦ on the river to double.
"Finally I hit one," he vividly exclaimed and added that he had been losing a lot of his chips to Blanc in the half an hour prior.
