. Dmitry Yurasov fired out a healthy bet of 375,000 and Thomas Muhlocker looked him up. Yurasov tabled the

Dmitry Yurasov opened for 80,000 under the gun only to have Mike "Timex" McDonald three-bet all in for 740,000 from the cutoff. The button folded, as did both blinds, and Yurasov asked for a count before making the call.
Yurasov: 
McDonald: 
McDonald got it in good, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, McDonald had a 54.45% chance of surviving the hand while Yurasov would come from behind 45.17% of the time. Unfortunately for McDonald, this was one of those times as the flop came down 
.
Yurasov paired his ace to become a massive 91.21% favorite, and McDonald was left in need of a six, which would come a mere 8.78% of the time. The 
turn was not it, and neither was the 
river. "Good game guys," McDonald said before taking his leave in fifth place for €115,400.
Ended up coming 5th in the HR for 115€. Ran super well all tourney and I don't think I've ever been this pleased with a non-win in my careerFollow @MikeMcDonald89
