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 {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop, more than half his stack, and Distefano quickly jammed for 565,000 effective. Tucker didn't look thrilled, but eventually called.

Distefano: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Tucker: {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Distefano's bold read with just ace-high was correct, as Tucker had just queen-high! The {10-Hearts} on the turn bailed Tucker out, however, and Distefano couldn't find an ace on the {9-Spades} river to earn Tucker an unlikely double.
