Ace from Space for Hardcastle
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action was picked up midway through a series of bets preflop. Igor Dursel had opened, Jack Hardcastle had three-bet to 32,000 and Norbert Szecsi had four-bet to 85,000. Hardcastle five-bet all in for about 240,000 and Szecsi quickly called with a covering stack.
Jack Hardcastle: A♣5♣
Norbert Szecsi, Q♥Q♣
Hardcastle was in bad shape against Szecsi's queens and still needed some help after the 2♥6♦7♠ flop. He got exactly what he needed when the A♥ spiked on the turn and stayed ahead on the 10♠ river, scooping a massive pot in the process while Szecsi was left short-stacked with the bubble approaching.
Meanwhile at another table, Vanessa Selbst has been eliminated from the tournament.
