Hand #182 -

Michael McDonald has the button. He raises to 80,000, Vincent Wan re-raises to 200,000, McDonald moves all in and Wan calls.

Wan {J-Hearts}

McDonald

The flop is {10-Hearts}

. The turn is the {3-Spades}

and McDonald needs some serious help. He runs over to his buddy Shaun Deeb, who is wearing a buddha-themed T-shirt that says "Rub My Belly For Good Luck." McDonald rubs Deeb's belly, but it's not enough... the {10-Diamonds}

falls on the river. Wan's pocket jacks hold up to win the hand and eliminate McDonald. He'll collect $85,920 for his runner-up finish, while our champion, Vincent Wan, will pocket a cool $142,302 for his victory.
