Hernon Doubles with Aces
Level 34
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Charlemagne Benjamin raised to 1,125,000 from under the gun and called after Joseph Hernon three-bet to 2,700,000 in the big blind.
Hernon moved all in on the 2♠Q♣7♥ flop and Benjamin called.
Joseph Hernon: A♥A♦ 
Charlemagne Benjamin: A♣Q♦
Benjamin's top pair was trailing Hernon's pocket aces, and the 4♦ turn changed nothing. Hernon improved on the A♠ river, making a set to cement his double-up.
