McDonald's Tens Are Good

The player in the hijack opened to 900 and Tim Reilly called from the cutoff. The button folded and Mike "Timex" McDonald three-bet to 3,225 from the small blind. It folded back to the original raiser who mucked his cards. Reilly called and we were heads up to the flop.

The flop was {7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Timex continued with a bet of 3,525. Reilly called and the turn paired the board with the {K-Diamonds}. McDonald slowed down by checking and Reilly took this opportunity to bet 5,200.

McDonald called and the {a-Diamonds} rivered. Both players checked and McDonald showed {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Reilly mucked his hand and McDonald scooped the pot.

Neuville Left Crippled

Pierre Neuville
Pierre Neuville

With the {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} on the board and already a decent amount of chips in the pot, Pierre Neuville bet 5,550. He was called by his only opponent Laurent Polito to see the turn.

The dealer popped the {9-Spades} on the turn, and Neuville checked. Polito went straight to the point and moved all in. The stack in front of him was much bigger than that of Neuville's, who was holding 16,000. Making the call would have meant putting his tournament life at risk and Neuville had to give it a long thought.

It seemed a bit too long for one of the players at the table and he called the clock on Neuville. Neuville was given one minute to act and before the time ran out, he opted to fold his cards.

Lacay Back to Black

Ludovic Lacay
Ludovic Lacay

Ludovic Lacay has had a tough year, for him, with comparatively few results. Today has been a similar story for him after a good start, although he's managed to get back into the black.

He was heads up to the turn of a {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board and faced a 4,500 bet from an opponent sat under-the-gun.

The Frenchman raised to 11,000 and had to wait and wait as his opponent tanked. After more than five minutes Lacay called the clock and this prompted a fold.
