A Set For Finger, Two Pair for Markin and Nothing For McDonald

Level 6 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Martin Finger raised from the button to 5,000 and Leonid Markin called from the small blind after which Mike McDonald three-bet from the big blind to 16,000. Both Finger and Markin called, creating three-way action on {7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

After Markin checked, McDonald bet 14,000 and both Finger and Markin made the call.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and Markin checked again after which McDonald moved all in for about 41,000 chips. Finger made the call to put McDonald at risk, and Markin tanked for a long time before folding.

Finger showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for top set, and McDonald said, "There was a good chance you had that," as he tabled {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

The river brought the {Q-Hearts}, and McDonald wished the remaining players good luck before exiting the room.

"I had seven six," Markin said with a bit of a smile on his face.

"That's a good fold," Finger said, seemingly a bit surprised that the Russian player had managed tog get away from two pair.

"Yeah, I'm happy, it's a good fold," Markin added.

"I was enjoying this hand for sure," Finger said with a big smile on his face, as the other players laughed at his remark.

Finger now sits on 225,000 chips while Markin has slightly less than the starting stack.
