MacDonnell Finds Much Needed Double
Level 4
: 150/300, 300 ante
It appeared that a late open to 700 and a flat from Kelly Minkin in the cutoff prompted a player on the button to squeeze.

MacDonnell was down to just 6,450 and he peeled

runout didn't improve his rival's hand.
"He did it!" Kelly Minkin observed, applauding MacDonnell's double.
