McCracken Gives Back to Pillai

Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Will McCracken opened to 30,000 from under the gun and then called the 100,000 raise from Shankar Pillai on the button.

McCracken check-called a bet of 75,000 on the {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop to see the {3-Diamonds} turn. McCracken then check-jammed after his opponent bet 150,000. With 350,000 behind, Pillai quickly called off his inferior stack.

McCracken had the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for just ace high while Pillai turned trip threes with his {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The {2-Spades} completed the board and Pillai reclaimed some chips he gave to McCracken earlier on in the day.
