O'Neal Doubles with a River Ace

Finding the Ace from Space . . . The Thomas O'Neal story!
Finding the Ace from Space . . . The Thomas O'Neal story!

Tom O'Neal opened from the button to 250,000. Dean Hamrick raised it to 575,000 from the small blind. O'Neal answered that with an all in shove for 1,145,000. Hamrick snap-called and the two were off to the flop.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts} giving Hamrick a flopped boat with his pocket jacks. O'Neal's ace-queen could only improve with one of the remaining aces or queens in the deck.

The turn brought the {6-Spades}, giving Hamrick's rail something to cheer about.

They were quieted however when the {a-Hearts} fell on the river.

O'Neal doubled to 2,290,000, while Hamrick slipped to 5,715,000.

When the river landed the {10-Clubs} both players checked it through to see O'Neal table his {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a rivered pair to take down the pot and move to 3,150,000 in chips.

Wiley Four-Bet Victory

Ian Wiley entered the pot on the button for a 225,000-chip raise only to have Dean Hamrick three-bet to 525,000 from the big blind.

With the action back on Wiley, he moved all in for roughly an additional 2,000,000 more to prompt an eventual fold from Hamrick.

Hamrick Rivers Broadway

From the small blind, Dean Hamrick opened to 200,000 and was called by Thomas O'Neal in the big blind.

The flop came down {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. O'Neal check-called Hamrick's bet of 300,000.

The turn brought the {k-Hearts} and again O'Neal check-called, this time, a bet of 525,000.

On the river, {a-Spades}, O'Neal checked and Hamrick slid in a bet of 1,600,000. O'Neal counted out his chips and separated the bet from the rest of his stack. He eventually slid them towards the middle but they would not go back his way this time, as Hamrick turned over {q-Hearts}{j-Spades} for Broadway.

Hamrick's rail, which has occupied the entire top perch here at the secondary feature table in the Amazon Room went wild.

"That was Joe Cada-esque right there," one of Hamrick's friends shouted.

"Told you you had the best hand!" shouted the reigning WSOP Main Event champ.
