Deangelus Holds on for a Double

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The turned board read {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and there was around 35,000 in the pot. Ralph Deangelus checked to his opponent who threw in a bet and Deangelus check-raised all in for 64,900.

His opponent called, tabling {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of tens with plenty of outs to beat the {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} of Deangelus. A {3-Spades} landed on the river and Deangelus held on for the win, doubling through his opponent.
