McNeil Doubles Up

[user108095]

After playing hand after hand of small ball where they did nothing more than trade blinds and antes, Michael McNeil started switching up his game, blind raising to 16,000 every time he has the button.

When Arkadiy Tsinis reraised all in the last time McNeil made the play, McNeil made the call.

McNeil: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

Tsinis:

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

When the board ran {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

, McNeil's ace was good and he doubled up to 326,000 while Tsinis fell back to 124,000.
