Donato Doubles Through Mack; McKola Relieved
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Adam McKola opened to 10,000 and Carmelo Donato three-bet to 21,000. Adrian Mack then four-bet to 65,000 and McKola tank-folded.
"All in," said Mack, mistakenly thinking Donato had acted on his hand. Donato looked amused, thought a little while longer, before five-betting all in for 85,000. Mack snap-called.
Carmelo Donato: J♠J♦ 
Adrian Mack: 8♦8♣
Donato was ahead and stayed that way on the K♠6♣4♦9♠3♥ runout.
"Thank f*ck for that," said McKola. "I'd have lost to both of you!"
