McDonald Bluff Catches
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Around 14,000 had developed by the turn on a board of Q♠J♠6♦8♥, in a hand between Andrew McDonald in the cutoff, and Richard Jones on the button.
McDonald slid out a bet of 6,000, and Jones called.
The 9♦ hit on the river, bringing one-card straight possibilities, and McDonald check-called versus a quick bet of 11,000 from Jones.
Jones showed A♥K♦ for ace-high, and McDonald found a good call with second pair A♣J♣.
