Jumpin' Joe Doubles Up

Joe Cada
Joe Cada

We arrived at the table to find 2009 World Champion and Team PokerStars Pro Joe Cada all in with his opponent in the tank. There was about 8,000 in the middle and 7,625 in front of Cada. After a few minutes of thought, the lure of busting the champ was just too much as he made the call.

Cada: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The race was on but Cada spiked an ace on the {8-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board to double through. He's now up to around 23,000 and back in business.
