Truong Doubles Up in a Battle of the Blinds
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With action folded to the blinds, Michael Coombs raised to 1,000,000 from the small blind and Francois Truong, covered by the bet, made the call.
Francois Truong: 10♠10♥ 
Michael Coombs: K♣8♥
Although Coombs hit middle pair on the 9♠8♣7♠ flop, Truong's pocket tens held up. The runout of 3♥4♣ didn't help Coombs, giving Truong a much needed double.
