Bohmerwald Plucks McDonald's Ducks
Michael Bohmerwald opened for 140,000 up front and got called only by chip leader John McDonald in the big blind. On the 3♠A♥4♠ from, McDonald checked, Bohmerwald bet 105,000, and got called.
The turn was the 8♠, making a flush possible, and both players checked. The river was the 3♦, pairing the board and bringing even scarier possibilities, and they checked it down. McDonald held 2♥2♣ for two pair; Bohmerwald's A♦10♦ was the better hand with aces-up and he collected the pot.
