McDonald Doubles Through Buchanan

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Mike "Timex" McDonald
Mike "Timex" McDonald

From the hijack seat, Shawn Buchanan raised to 9,000. Tobias Reinkemeier made the call from the cutoff and action folded over to Mike "Timex" McDonald in the small blind. He reraised to 35,000. Play moved back over to Buchanan and he four-bet, making it 83,000 to go. Reinkemeier folded and McDonald moved all in for 196,500. Buchanan called.

The two were off to the races as Buchanan's {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} was up against the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} for McDonald.

The board ran through {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and McDonald was able to double up with trip kings. He's now back to around 400,000 while Buchanan was knocked to 285,000.
