McDonald Doubles; Bleznick Crippled
Michael "Timex" McDonald raised to 36,000 from the cutoff and was called by Steven Merrifield on the button. When action was on Jared Belznick in the big blind, he potted to 152,000, McDonald called, while Merrifield got out of the way.
The rest of McDonald's money got in on the 
flop, meaning his tournament was at risk.
McDonald: 
Bleznick: 
The 
turn didn't change much, but the 
river gave McDonald a flush and the double, severly crippling Bleznick in the process.
