McFadden Doubles and Takes a Break

Brian Mcfadden's stated goal for today was to make it past Level 4. We're in Level 5 now, so everything is a freeroll for McFadden at this point. He's not having smooth sailing though. He's been short for a while, and decided to move in preflop for 3700 after squeezing out {K-Clubs} {6-Clubs}. David Saab, who previously threatend to own McFadden's soul, made the call with {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. McFadden turned a pair of kings to double up to about 8,000 and stay alive. Saab was apparently so distraught about losing the hand that he forgot to put his chips in the pot until the dealer gently reminded him.

Right after the hand ended, McFadden's phone rang. As he reached down to take the call, he realized he was in violation of the rules. Unfortunately for McFadden, a supervisor was summoned and McFadden was given a five-minute penalty.
