[user38449]

Leo Boxell has just doubled through to 2.3 million in chips after getting the best of Andrew Hiscox in what was a battle of the blinds.

Action folded around the table to Hiscox in the small blind who completed the bet. Boxell then kicked it up to 225,000 and Hiscox four-bet to 555,000. The action then returned to Boxell who moved all in over the top for approximately 610,000 more, putting Hiscox to a big decision.

"If he folds I'm going to cry. Seriously, I'm going to cry," said Tom Grigg.

Hiscox ended up making the call holding {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

and found himself in bad shape against Boxell's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Spades}

.

The

{8-Hearts}

was the door card on the flop, but it was accompanied by the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

and

{9-Diamonds}

pairing both players' kickers. The turn and river then blanked out {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

,

{Q-Hearts}

and Boxell won the pot with a pair of tens.

Hiscox was left with 725,000 in chips after the hand.
