Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tom Matacale had just doubled up when his nines held up against an opponents' eights. He then shoved all in for 142,000 in middle position, the hijack reshoved, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Tom Matacale: 5♠5♣ 
Opponent: A♥K♥
"That's what I was hoping he had," Matacale said after the cards were turned over. The board ran out 2♥9♦6♦Q♣8♣, and Matacale's pair held on to earn him another double up.
"Wow, from 23,000," tablemate Bin Weng said.
"Let's hope it's a story everyone writes about," Matacale replied.
