Hardcastle Heroes Bushell on the River; Du Finds a Miracle Against Patroklou
Matthew Bushell raised to 8,000 under the gun and Jack Hardcastle called in the big blind.
The flop came K♦7♣10♠ and Bushell continued for 7,500. Hardcastle called and the 2♠ fell on the turn.
Bushell then bet 22,000 and Hardcastle again called. Bushell moved all in on the 3♦ river, and Hardcastle took a moment before calling for his last 37,000.
Bushell could only show A♣Q♣ for ace-high, while Hardcastle had 8♠7♠ for a pair of sevens to win the pot and double up.
At another table, Junxian Du was all in for 57,000 from the big blind and up against Dimitrios Patroklou on the button with the flop showing Q♥9♣4♦.
Junxian Du: Q♣J♠ 
Dimitrios Patroklou: A♥Q♠
Both players had top pair, but Patroklou was ahead with his ace-kicker and poised for the knockout. Du was already standing up after the 5♦ turn, but he spiked the J♥ on the river to make two pair and double up.
