Tucker Doubles In Wild Hand
Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vito Distefano raised to 165,000 from the cutoff, and Tim Tucker defended in the big blind.
Tucker bet 300,000 on the 
flop, more than half his stack, and Distefano quickly jammed for 565,000 effective. Tucker didn't look thrilled, but eventually called.
Distefano: 
Tucker: 
Distefano's bold read with just ace-high was correct, as Tucker had just queen-high! The 
on the turn bailed Tucker out, however, and Distefano couldn't find an ace on the 
river to earn Tucker an unlikely double.
