Joyce Doubles in the First Hand of Heads-Up Play
Nivel 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Philip Joyce limped in from the small blind and Arian Kashani made it 1,700,000 from the big blind. Joyce called.
They went to a flop of 2♦J♦8♦ where Kashani fired 1,100,000, and Joyce called to see the 4♥ on the turn. Kashani then shoved, and Joyce snap-called for his stack of 6,375,000.
Philip Joyce: J♠10♦ 
Arian Kashani: K♦Q♣
Kashani had a chance to win it all in the very first hand of heads-up play! A king, queen, or a diamond would see him claim the title, anything else would earn Joyce a double-up.
The dealer wasted no time in getting on with things, and put out a 6♠ on the river, which almost evened out the stacks.
