Hockey Doubles Through Tackett to Fade Elimination
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 6,000 ante
Randy Hockey shoved for 152,000 from early position and was called by Jonathan Tackett from the next seat over as Hockey was at risk on the bubble to bag.
Randy Hockey: A♥A♠
Jonathan Tackett: A♦Q♠
The bad news was Hockey was fighting to stay in the tournament and gain the chance to bag for Day 2. The good news was if you could pick a hand, pocket aces might be your choice, as he had Tackett's hand dominated with five to go.
The 10♠8♥A♣ flop gave Hockey top set and command of the hand.
The J♥ turn was ominous as it gave Tackett a gutshot straight draw, but the river did not bring heartbreak as it came the 3♠, awarding Hockey the double.
