Mike McDonald

If Mike McDoanld wants to be crowned the Super High Roller champion he is going to need to reenter on Day 2 because Igor Kurganov has sent him to the showers.

Kurganov raised to 12,000 from under the gun, Anton Astapau called from the next seat along, Oleh Okhotskyi called on the button and Mike McDonald called from the big blind.

The flop fell {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, McDonald checked, Kurganov led for 30,000, Astapau called, Okhotskyi folded, and McDonald called. The {3-Hearts} turn saw McDonald check, Kurganov bet 90,000, and Astapau tank-fold. McDonald then check-raised all-in, and Kurganov beat him into the pot with a call.

McDonald: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Kurganov: {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

McDonald needed a heart for a flush otherwise his tournament was over, which it was when the river came the {K-Clubs} to send McDonald into the cold Prague air.
