MacDonald Tries to Be a Hero

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

"Klyukvenniy" opened the action with a raise to 40,000 in the cutoff and Tom "7tHEcROw7" MacDonald defended the big blind.

The flop of 4♦6♥9♣ subsequentially saw MacDonald check to his opponent, who made a continuation-bet of 34,100. MacDonald then fired a raise to 115,00, which "Klyukvenniy" called.

The A♥ was turned and MacDonald now slowed down with a check. "Klyukvenniy" responded with a small bet of 60,000 chips and MacDonald made the call.

The K♥ river completed the board and MacDonald checked once more. This time, "Klyukvenniy" went all-in for 336,420 chips. MacDonald went deep into his time bank, but eventually made the call.

"Klyukvenniy" showed A♠6♠ for two pair and MacDonald was not even close to beating that with his Q♣9♦ for a pair of nines. "Klyukvenniy" doubled up to over a million while MacDonald, who sat near the top of the leaderboard at the start of the day, was left with just 500,000 chips

A raise to 40,000 was made by "komarac_zg" from middle position, and David "dpeters17" Peters defended his big blind. Peters then check-called a 26,000 continuation-bet by "komarac_zg" on the 4♣6♣3♣ flop, and did so too for the 48,600 bet that followed on the 6♥ turn.

The 10♥ river then was checked by both players and Peters showed A♣10♣ for the flopped flush. His opponent could not beat that and left themself short while Peters chipped up to more than 25 big blinds.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

The action folded to Sam "SamSquid" Grafton in the small blind and he chose to put big blind "hello_totti" all-in for 159,340 chips. The latter made a quick call and the pair showed their cards.

"hello_totti": A♦K♦
Sam "SamSquid" Grafton: K♣6♣

Grafton made it exciting when he flopped a flush draw on Q♣5♣7♦, but no further help arrived on the 5♥9♦ runout, doubling up his opponent. He is still sitting well above the two-million mark, however.

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The action folded to "IamMickeyBr" on the button, and they opened to 36,230 chips. Andras "probirs" Nemeth was in the big blind and opted to defend.

The flop fell 4♦9♦2♠ and Nemeth checked to his opponent, who made a large bet of 72,000. Nemeth responded with a small raise to 160,000, after which "IamMickeyBr" shoved all in for 516,768. Nemeth put in the extra chips as well and the players' holdings were revealed.

"IamMickeyBr": Q♥Q♣
Andras "probirs" Nemeth: K♦9♠

The 8♦ turn gave Nemeth a plethora of additional outs, but it was one of his original ones that came on the K♣ river, upgrading him to two pair and eliminating his opponent.

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

"AA DOCTOR" raised to 35,200 from the cutoff and Andy "BowieEffect" Wilson flatted his button. "Eccentric_BG" then promptly jammed their 547,036 chips in from the small blind, being covered by both players.

"AA DOCTOR" thought better of it and folded, but Wilson quickly called and showed down.

"Eccentric_BG": A♦10♦
Andy "BowieEffect" Wilson: A♥Q♠

WIlson had the dominating ace, but that changed when "Eccentric_BG" was the only one to make two pair on the 3♠J♦4♣10♥J♠ board, doubling them up while Wilson was left with about 25 big blinds.

Eccentric_BG	1,161,272

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Leo "LeoAlcantara" Alcantara raised to 32,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to "hello_totti" in the big blind, who three-bet shoved his 214,520 chips in the middle. Alcantara made the call and the players showed down.

"hello_totti": 9♠9♦
Leo "LeoAlcantara" Alcantara: A♦K♥

It remained a flip on the Q♦Q♣J♠ flop, but the 9♣ turn filled up "hello_totti" and delivered them with the checkmark for the pot. The 4♦ river was dealt as a formality and the pot was shipped "hello_totti"s way.
