Hopkins Doubles via Hardcastle
Nivel 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action folded to Joshua Hopkins in the small blind, who jammed for 105,000, asking Jack Hardcastle in the big blind if he "had the balls".
Hardcastle chuckled, thought for a moment and made the call, with Hopkins at risk,
Joshua Hopkins: K♥3♥ 
Jack Hardcastle: Q♣10♣
Although he was ahead, Hopkins said "Shall I stand up?", to which Hardcastle laughed and replied "Don't or I'll punch you".
Hopkins' double-up was confirmed by the 9♦4♦5♥A♦5♠ runout, his king-kicker to the board pair of fives good enough to take the pot. As he raked in the pot, Hopkins smiled at Hardcastle and said "Cheers love".
