Another Double for Short Stack Castles
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Ben Richardson raised it up to 160,000 and Vajra Castles defended the big blind to check a Q♣8♠5♠ flop, on which Richardson's bet of 150,000 won the pot.
One hand later, Castles jammed out of the small blind and Hun Wei Lee eyeballed the stack with a twist, asking for an exact count. The shove was for 760,000 and Lee paid to put Castles at risk for the second time this past hour.
Vajra Castles: K♦9♦
Hun Wei Lee: Q♠8♦
The K♥8♠5♦ flop gave both a piece and Castles remained ahead. Castles cemented his lead with the 5♠ turn and secured the double thanks to the A♣ on the river.
