McDonald Heads to the €10K High Roller

While Kevin Lee Sharp was busting at one table, Mike "Timex" McDonald was felted on another.

McDonald, who has been having a remarkable EPT12 Malta including a win in the €25K High Roller, managed to double his short stack through Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso, but the Spaniard managed to deliver the knockout blow shortly there after.

It happened when Cardoso opened for 26,000 under the gun and McDonald defended from the big blind. When the flop came down , McDonald shoved his last 54,000 and Cardoso snapped him off.

McDonald went with his gutshot, and while the turn paired his king, his kicker was inferior to that of Cardoso. The was a blank on the river, and McDonald hit the rail in 27th for €17,840, money he used to immediately register the €10K High Roller taking place just across the room.
