Timex Stumbles

Mike "Timex" McDonald
Mike "Timex" McDonald
The pre-flop action saw three players, including Mike "Timex" McDonald commit 1,100 into the middle to see a flop of {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{J-Spades}.

McDonald in the big blind was the first to speak, firing out a bet of 2,100 which found one fold and one call. The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {J-Clubs} and McDonald checked over to his opponent who fired a healthy bet of 6,100. McDonald didn't take long to cut out his chips and make the call.

His opponent flipped {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a rivered full house, which was too good for McDonald who after being the early chip leader today is now down to around 16,000 chips.
