Tweedlie Scores Massive Double Up
Michael Tweedlie had a decent-sized stack when the hand began.
It expanded quite a bit after the final card hit the river.
The hand started innocently enough, with Tweedlie raising 240,000 in late position. Stacen Jones flatted and the remaining players got out of the way.
The dealer fanned A?5?6? on the board, and away they went. Tweedlie bet 200,000, and then Jones raised to 600,000. Tweedlie then came back over the top for 1,200,000, only for Jones to immediately announce he was all in and he had Tweedlie covered.
Tweedlie immediately appeared uneasy, throwing back his head as his eyes shot to the ceiling. He tanked a bit, while studying the board. After a little more than a minute passed, Tweedlie made the call with his remaining 3,090,000 and the cards were tabled.
Michael Tweedlie: A?Q?
Stacen Jones: A?10?
To his surprise, Tweedlie saw that he was ahead. The turn showed J? and 5? arrived on the river to give Tweelie the hand and a double up.
