Pat Tighe latest hunt for a big score starts now after two huge doubles have given him a top ten stack.

First, he doubled up with queens versus top pair jacks, then got the rest of that opponent's chips and most of Dave Grana's in a massive, almost 80,000-chip pot.

Tighe got it in on an {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop holding {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} versus Grana's {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and held through an {8-Spades}{7-Clubs} run out, leaving Grana, who had already left before they did the math, with just a few chips.

Tighe had a decent year in 2015, cashing for more than $20,000 in Niagara Falls area events and appears poised for another deep run now as we say goodbye to Grana.
