Battle of the Short Stacks

After a series of bets Blake Cahail and Rogelio Castaneda found themselves both all in playing for their tournament lives. Both players had roughly the same amount in chips with Cahail having a few thousand more. If Cahail were to lose the hand though, he would be crippled.

Cahail: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Castaneda: {10-}{10-}

The cards came out {7-}{3-}{A-}{9-}{8-} and Cahail was able to hold on to basically double up.
