Tirone Flops an Ace to Stay Alive
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Carmine Tirone jammed for 115,000 from middle position, and Tom Siddle made the call on the button.
Carmine Tirone: A♦3♦
Tom Siddle: J♠J♦
Tirone needed an ace or some diamonds to stay alive, and found one of them on the A♥7♦9♠ flop by spiking top pair.
The 2♥ turn and K♣ river didn't bring a jack for Siddle, and he was forced to send around a third of his stack across the table to Tirone.
