Besnainou Cracks Aces
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ange Besnainou opened to 3,000 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 12,000 by Fabien Houvenaghel in middle position. Action folded back to Besnainou, who called, leaving himself about 13,000 behind.
On the 10♥Q♣8♦ flop, Besnainou checked to his opponent, who swiftly moved all in, with Besnainou making the quick call to put himself at risk.
Ange Besnainou: 8♣8♠ 
Fabien Houvenaghel: A♣A♦
Besnainou was in great shape with a set of eights against Houvenaghel's rockets, and no unlikely escape was provided by the 10♠ turn or K♠ river, with Besnainou exclaiming "Yes!" and pumping his fist as the king landed to confirm his double-up.
