Hirschfield Coolers Firestone For a Double
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Michael Bohmerwald bet 4,000 from middle position on a flop of 9♣9♠5♦ and Andre Akkari called in the hijack, as did Larry Hirschfield in the cutoff. Robert Firestone then raised to 20,000 in the big blind.
Bohmerwald and Akkari folded, but Hirschfield reraised to 44,000. Firestone moved all in, and Hirschfield called for 96,000. "I hope you have nine-ten," Firestone said as they went to reveal their cards.
Larry Hirschfield: K♥9♥ 
Robert Firestone: Q♣9♦
Both players had flopped trips, but Hirschfield was ahead with his king-kicker. The rest of the board ran out 2♥7♠ and he doubled up. Bohmerwald revealed later that he folded two queens.
