McDonald Knocks Out Goryachev
Level 14
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Action folded to Mike McDonald and he opened with a raise on the button. In the small blind was Viacheslav Goryachev. He shoved for his last 120,000 or so, and then Igor Kurganov folded from the big blind. McDonald made the call and needed to improve with his 
against Goryachev's 
.
The 
flop and 
turn were harmless for Goryachev, but the 
on the river wasn't, as it delivered McDonald with a pair of tens and the winning hand. That meant it was time for Goryachev to exit, while McDonald moved to an above-average stack.
