MacPhee Doubles Up; Del Curto Eliminated

We picked up the action on the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop as Arno Del Curto bet 4,000 and Kevin MacPhee raised to 8,000. Del Curto moved all in and MacPhee beat him into the pot. MacPhee held the {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} for bottom set and Del Curto the {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for top pair.

The turn was the {J-Clubs} and helped Del Curto by giving him a backdoor flush draw. The river completed the board with the {10-Hearts} and MacPhee won the pot.

The chips were very close and at final count, Del Curto was all in on the flop for 19,450 and MacPhee 18,650. That meant MacPhee had doubled through and Del Curto was left crippled.

On the next hand, Del Curto was all in preflop for his last 750 with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Mats Gavatin made the call with the {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades} and the board ran out {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{K-Spades} to eliminate Del Curto.
