Hardcastle Holds on to Double
Level 8
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jack Hardcastle had just taken his seat in the tournament as he and an opponent each put in 6,000 before the flop.
The flop came A♠9♣8♥ and the player in the cutoff moved all in. Hardcastle paued for a moment but eventually called for his last 20,600 on the button.
Jack Hardcastle: K♦9♦ 
Opponent: J♥10♥
Hardcastle was ahead with his pair of nines, while his opponent was on a straight draw. The 4♥ turn also meant Hardcastle had to avoid a flush draw, and his opponent missed the 5♠ river as Hardcastle held on to double up.
Ian Simpson was recently eliminated from this table.
