Kagawa Back From His Knees

Masaaki Kagawa

Mike "Timex" McDonald had Masaaki Kagawa down to desperation stage but he has since been able to double up three times in succession.

The first hand "Timex" had {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

against Kagawa's {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{2-Spades}

however Kagawa spiked a queen on the turn to survive.

Kagawa then doubled again when he won a race with his pocket sixes holding against the A-J of "Timex".

Kagawa then doubled for a third time. He opened the action with a raise to 750 from the button and "Timex" put him all in. Kagawa made the call with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

and was ahead of the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

of "Timex". The board ran out {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

to give Kagawa the pot and put the two players back to about the same amount of chips!
