McDonald Doubles Through Gillette, Who Then Busts
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
AJ Gillette opened to 40,000 from middle position before John McDonald jammed for 250,000 from the button, and Gillette called as the slightly covering stack.
John McDonald: 7♥7♣
AJ Gillette: A♥J♠
It was another flip as the Q♣3♦3♣ flop kept the sevens in the lead. The 9♥ turn changed nothing, and McDonald held through the K♠ river to double, and leave Gillette with 45,000 chips.
The next hand, Gillette put his final 45,000 in the middle second-to-act before isolated to 110,000 on the button, and the others folded.
AJ Gillette: K♠8♠
Maxwell Young: 10♠10♦
Gillette held one overcard to Young's pair as the A♠9♣2♠ flop gave him a flush draw as well.
However, the board would run out J♦2♦, leaving the tens best as Gillette exited.
