Double Up, Baby!

In a battle of the blinds, the player in the small blind raised and Scotty Nguyen reraised from the big. He put in nearly all of his chips, saving about 10% of his stack for a rainy day, apparently. His opponent called and tabled his hand, not realizing Nguyen had chips behind: {A-} {J-}

"In not all in, baby!" Scotty replied. He was, however, all in after the flop of {2-} {2-} {4-}, turning up pocket queens to put him in good shape to double. The turn {Q-} sealed the deal for the Prince of Poker, and he's found his double up to 140,000.
