to spike two pair on the river to dent the stack of Kagawa.

Kagawa then got some revenge holding the same J-7 against the pocket sixes of McDonald. A jack landed on the flop to give Kagawa the pot.

In the most recent clash, McDonald made a great call with {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

but spiked a {10-Diamonds}
