Latta Holds To Double
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
William Latta raised to 300,000 on the button, and Kyle Cartwright three-bet to 850,000 in the big blind. Latta replied with a four-bet to 2,100,000, and Cartwright slid out the call.
Cartwright checked the Q♠8♠6♥ flop, and Latta fired 600,000 into the middle. Cartwright then moved all in, asking for the rest of Latta's stack.
After taking some time, Latta stuck in the call and the cards were turned up.
William Latta: 10♥10♦ 
Kyle Cartwright: A♠J♠
Latta's pocket pair was in front, holding through the 8♥ turn and 6♦ river to score a massive double. That left Cartwright short, while Latta opened a big chip lead.
