Castle Doubles; Busts Soon After

Tim Baker
Tim Baker
Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

When it folded to Adam Owen in the small blind, he jammed, putting Robert Castle at risk for his tournament life in the big blind. Castle called for his 100,000 stack and the players flipped the cards.

Robert Castle: J♠6♥ All in
Adam Owen: 10♦7♠

Castle was ahead with jack-high but Owen had two live cards working for him.

Amazingly, jack-high ended up as the winning hand after the dealer spread the Q♠9♠8♠8♥4♥ runout, and Castle stayed alive.

Unfortunately for Castle, he was unable to survive much longer and was eliminated a few hands later.
