JJ Liu

Mike 'Timex' McDonald raised preflop from early position to 2,700 and J.J. Liu flat called in the cutoff. The blinds folded and they took a flop of {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{3-Spades}

.

McDonald moved all in for his last 7,000 but Liu beat him into the pot with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

for top pair, top kicker, leaving McDonald drawing to only three outs with his {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

.

The turn brought the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

and the river rubbed salt into the wound when the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

gave Liu trips to send "Timex" to the rail within sight of a day two berth. Liu is now sitting pretty with close to 60,000 chips.
