Derwiche Doubles on the Bubble

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Imad Derwiche moved all in from the cutoff for 380,000 and was called by Fateh Jowhary in the small blind. Players had to wait for the hand on the other table to end before turning over their cards.

Imad Derwiche: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Fateh Jowhary: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

It was a flip on the bubble for Derwiche's tournament life. Lucky for Derwiche he was able to hold as the board ran out {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for him to double which allowed for the bubble to continue.
