Push Comes to Shove for Timex

It looked like we were going to have some serious action when a raise to 220,000 from Mike McDonald was met with a reraise to 490,000 from Jake Cody. Back around to McDonald, and he announced all in - but Cody swiftly passed, and McDonald took the pot without the hassle of a showdown.

Timex on the Up

Timex versus Cody again - this time Cody raised to 240,000 and "Timex" McDonald called out of the blinds.

They checked down the {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} flop and the {A-Clubs} turn, but come the {9-Clubs} river Timex bet out 350,000. Cody let him take it, and Timex tops 4 million for the first time.

Timex Doubles Through Cody

McDonald - does gamble after all.
McDonald - does gamble after all.
The Timex/Cody saga continued with Timex raising to 220,000 and Cody reraising to 490,000. Back to Timex, and he re-popped to 1.1 million. Cody announced all in. Timex announced call.

The pot - 8.63 million. Good lord.

Cody: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}
Timex McDonald: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}

Flop: {Q-Clubs} {K-Spades} {2-Diamonds}

Cody walked off, unable to look.

Turn: {A-Spades}

Cody, now with a few more outs, went back to the table.

River: {6-Spades}

Cody closed his eyes and looked as though he was going to cry.

McDonald enjoys a full double up to 8.63 million and the chip lead. Cody is left with 1.115 million and a bunch of sadness.

Stephane Albertini Eliminated in 6th Place (€129,000)

Stephane Albertini - 6th Place
Stephane Albertini - 6th Place
The action folded around to the blinds, and small blind Jake Cody moved all in for just under 1 million chips. In the big, Stephane Albertini peeked at his cards and made the call, putting himself all in and at risk for about 700,000 total.

Showdown
Cody: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}
Albertini: {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

Oops. The flop came out {7-Spades} {5-Spades} {3-Spades}, not much help. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn was a good card, giving Albertini four outs to the win and four more outs to the chop with his double gutter. Unfortunately for the Corsican, the river was a blank {6-Hearts}, and that's all she wrote. Albertini has been knocked off in 6th place, taking home a six-figure payday for his work this week.

Claudius Secara Eliminated in 5th Place (€165,000)

Claudius Secara - 5th Place
Claudius Secara - 5th Place
Mike McDonald has been running over the table since his double up, opening most of the hands that are folded to him. So no one was surprised when he raised to 220,000 preflop. Claudius Secara had to like his spot when he shipped in his 910,000. Snap call from Timex. Bad timing for Secara.

McDonald: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Secara: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} - at risk

Boring board: {9-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs}

Secara got a rousing cheer from his fans as he headed to the interview area. The rest of the table, on the other hand, is anything but cheering to see McDonald get even more chips. His towering stack is now over 10 million.

Internet Kids Are Go

Craig Bergeron limped in on the small blind, only for Mike McDonald in the big blind to raise to 280,000. Bergeron however now re-popped for 1.6 million, and McDonald folded instantly with a nod and a respectful tap on the table.
