Mackinnon Gets Fortunate Against Deppe

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Sometimes you need a little luck in order to win a poker tournament, well Douglas Mackinnon has just had a huge slice of luck to stay alive in this one.

Mackinnon's 138,000 chips went into the middle with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and he was in terrible shape against the pocket rockets ({A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}) of Robert Deppe. Mackinnon stayed way behind as the first three community cards fell {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. However, the {9-Clubs} turn improved Mackinnon to a full house. The {7-Clubs} was the river card and Mackinnon doubled through Deppe.
