Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

[user75032]

Michael "Timex" McDonald recently doubled up to 46,000, but then gave some back almost immediately thereafter. He raised preflop to 1,100 and was called by Steven Djingga and Guray Turkay. The flop came down {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

and brought a bet of 3,000 from McDonald. Both of his opponents called.

All three players checked the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

that hit the turn. McDonald led out for 9,000 on a river {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. He got Djingga to fold, but Turkay made the call and tabled {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

for trip tens. That was a winning hand; it cracked McDonald's pocket aces.

McDonald slipped back to 32,000, while Turkay jumped to 43,000.
