Irish Hope Remains as McAleenan Doubles Up
Level 43
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Daryl McAleenan moved in for 16,600,000 on the button, and Oliver Gayko reluctantly put in a call in the big blind.
Daryl McAleenan: K♠5♥ 
Oliver Gayko: 9♦7♦
McAleenan flopped a five on A♣5♠A♠ and turned a king with the K♦ to lock up the pot. The 7♠ river gave Gayko a meaningless pair as McAleenan's double-up was already set in stone.
