Macella Doubles in a Scene from Saturday
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Saturday's Day 1b saw a ton of wild hands and suckouts, and while action has been relatively sane on Day 2, the chip leader from that flight, Justin Macella just channeled a bit of that action to score a massive double-up.
After Russell Quick opened to 45,000 under the gun, Macella piled his 545,000 chip stack forward, then said "uh oh" when he got a quick call from Quick.
Justin Macella: 
Russell Quick: 
Quick somehow got what he needed on the flop, but unfortunately for him, so did Quick as they both paired their kickers on the 
board.
There were more fives in the deck though, and sure enough, the 
rolled off to give Macella one of his remaining two outs.
The 
river changed nothing and Macella dragged a massive pot to move him over a million.
