Double-up for Paz

A desperately short-stacked Jose Paz has doubled up courtesy of Badih Bounahra, the latter looking good to eliminate his foe with {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} against {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

However, a {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades} flop was favorable to Paz, his pleas to "hold up" being granted on the blank {4-Clubs} turn and {4-Diamonds} river.

Although Paz doubles through to 14,000, Bounahra still has a highly respectable 71,000.
