Kagawa Back From His Knees

[user57954]

Masaaki Kagawa

Mike "Timex" McDonald had Masaaki Kagawa down to desperation stage but he has since been able to double up three times in succession.

The first hand "Timex" had {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

against Kagawa's {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{2-Spades}

however Kagawa spiked a queen on the turn to survive.

Kagawa then doubled again when he won a race with his pocket sixes holding against the A-J of "Timex".

Kagawa then doubled for a third time. He opened the action with a raise to 750 from the button and "Timex" put him all in. Kagawa made the call with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

and was ahead of the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

of "Timex". The board ran out {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

to give Kagawa the pot and put the two players back to about the same amount of chips!
