McNeil Holds to Double Through Chip Leader
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action folded to Rafael Lopez-Reyes who raised from the cutoff. It then folded to the small blind Dan McNeil who three-bet to 11,000. Once the big blind folded, Reyes made the call.
Both players checked after the A♠9♦J♥ flop, which brought the 7♥ on the turn. McNeil then moved all in for his stack of 16,000, which Reyes called to put him at risk.
Dan McNeil: A♦2♣ 
Rafael Lopez-Reyes: Q♦J♦
McNeil had the best of it with his pair of aces, and the 4♥ on the river changed nothing, as McNeil took the pot and doubled up.
