Thomas Scholze Doubles Through Andy Bacon
Level 3
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With about 220,000 already in the middle and the board reading 
, Andy Bacon was under the gun and checked to his lone opponent, Thomas Scholze, who was on the button. Scholze bet 150,000 and Bacon called.
Bacon checked in the dark and the 
fell on the river. Scholze bet 110,000 and Bacon check-raised to 600,000, putting Scholze to a decision for the remainder of his stack. He quickly called and Bacon flipped over 
for rivered two pair, but Schloze showed 
for the turned nut straight, so he took the pot to double up.
"Nice hand, I thought I'd gotten lucky on the river," said Bacon as Schloze stacked his newly-acquired chips.
