Sergio Castelluccio Doubles Through Martin Jacobson

Sergio Castelluccio gets into a preflop battle from early position against Martin Jacobson in the hijack. Castelluccio gets his last 261,400 into the middle and the cards are tabled. Castelluccio shows    and is in great shape to double up against Jacobson's   .

"I folded ace-queen," said Phil Hellmuth before the dealer puts out any community cards.

The board runs out       and Castellucio doubles up through the defending Main Event Champion, but the conversation at the table continues.

"Did you say you folded ace-queen?" asked Connor Drinan.

"Yea, I did," replied Hellmuth.

"Why would you say that?" asked Drinan.

"Why wouldn't I say that?" asked Hellmuth.

"Because Martin is trying to have a sweat for $100,000" said Matt Stout.

Their conversation about whether or not Hellmuth was out of line continued for another few moments and then Hellmuth apologized to Jacobson if he offended him at all and the table moved on to the next hand with most of Jacobson's stack gone. 

Sergio Castelluccio - 522,800
Martin Jacobson - 65,000
