McLean Flushed With Chips

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Benjamin McLean
Benjamin McLean

On the first hand after play - and sporting an exchanged white shirt for a black t-shirt - Antoine Amourette opened the button to 88,000 only to have Benjamin McLean three-bet shove from the big blind for his remaining 517,000.

Amourette swiftly made the call, and before a few of the remaining players were ready, one was already at risk.

McLean: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Amourette: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

With McLean trailing, the {10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop for the second nuts thrust him into the lead and sent him cheering in the direction of his rail.

The {Q-Hearts} on the turn however gave him a sweat, but when the river landed the {5-Hearts}, McLean doubled through to 1,074,000 as Amourette was left crippled with just 159,000 in chips.
