Hale Doubles Through Kenney
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Brant Hale raised to 210,000 under the gun before Bryn Kenney, two seats to his left, three-bet to 600,000. Hale called, leaving himself just 10,000 behind.
The dealer revealed the Q♦Q♣3♦ flop, and the players each put 10,000 into the pot, meaning Hale was all in and at risk.
Brant Hale: A♦A♥J♦2♦ 
Bryn Kenney: A♠A♣J♠9♥
Both players had the same two pair, but Hale had a flush draw to go with his.
The turn 8♣ gave Kenney his own outs to win the pot outright, picking up an inside straight draw.
However, the deck favored Hale as the river was the 9♦, giving him a flush and a full double up.
