Ace in the Window Helps Constantinou to Double
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Andreas Constantinou opened to 13,000 from the hijack and Philip Joyce shoved from the button with a covering stack. Once the blinds folded, Constantinou thought it over before he decided to call off his stack of 104,000.
Andreas Constantinou: A♠Q♣ 
Philip Joyce: 9♦9♣
An A♦ in the window was good news for Constantinou, and the K♠7♥ next to it kept him happy. Nothing changed on either the 10♥ turn or J♣ river, which meant he doubled up through Joyce.
