McDonald Sends One to the Rail

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We're not sure of the action, but we do know that some fireworks occurred on an {8-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop. We saw two players with 650 out in front of them with 1,100 in the middle. Another player had moved all in for 12,450, and only Paul McDonald made the call.

McDonald: {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

McDonald had flopped two pair, which was ahead of his opponent's top pair. Neither the {9-Hearts} turn nor {q-Hearts} river posed any threat to McDonald, and he took down the pot while sending a player to the rail.
