Thornton Doubles

Level 24 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Troy Weber and Matthew Thornton created a pot of about 200,000 preflop and watched as the flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Thornton moved all in for 124,000, Weber called, and the cards were turned up:

Weber: {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Thornton: {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Thornton was ahead with top pair and even added a straight draw when the {9-Spades} hit the turn. His hand improved to trips when the {Q-Clubs} was revealed on the river, ensuring him a double to 400,000. Meanwhile, Weber dropped to 730,000.
