"MarcZumoff" Doubles Through McNicholas

Blinds: 70,000/140,000

Action folded around to Michael "fubadbeatbob" McNicholas in the cutoff, and he moved all in, having everyone else covered easily. From the small blind, "MarcZumoff" would call holding {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}. They were well out in from of the {k-Spades}{8-Spades} shown by McNicholas, and while the flop of {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} looked promising for the big stack, the {7-Hearts} turn and {10-Hearts} river didn't change anything.

Blinds: 40,000/80,000
