Benefield Finally Makes McDonald a Believer
Mike McDonald raised to 5,600 to open the pot, and David Benefield flatted from the big blind to go heads up.
The two of them took a 
flop, and Benefield checked to the raiser. When McDonald bet a rainbow 6,600, though, Benefield snuck in a check-raise to 18,000 straight, and McDonald didn't waste much time calling.
The turn came the 
, and McDonald called another 31,000 to see the 
double-pair the board on the river. Benefield eyed up his remaining stack (~177,000), then quickly made a bet of 76,000. McDonald tanked and folded, dropping back under the 400,000-chip mark.
