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.
