Blais Finds a Double
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
William Blais and Viken Artinian got it all-in before the flop with Blais being the player at risk. It appeared as though Artinian opened from the cutoff and Blais jammed on the button.
Blais tabled 
and was well ahead of Artinian's 
.
The board ran out 
and Blais survived while Artinian was left with just 18,000.
Two hands later, Artinian jammed with king-queen and flipped against pocket eights. He turned a flush and hung on.
