McDonald Busts Newey

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

As we arrived, Paul Newey had all of his 50,800 already in the middle and Mike McDonald had his stack of over 180,000 in there as well. Vladimir Troyanovskiy had chips invested already but eventually folded.

Paul Newey: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Mike McDonald: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

McDonald showed his aces first and said "That's bad news for you" when Newey showed his {A-Spades} first, followed by the {Q-Spades}. Newey remembered someone beating his red aces with ace-queen back in Prague two weeks ago and was still somewhat hopeful he could repeat that feat.

The {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} brought him halfway there, but the {8-Diamonds} on the turn and {5-Diamonds} on the river were blanks and Newey made his exit.
