Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Brian McGill raised it up in middle position and was called by the button. Keith Doering three-bet to 4,700 from the small blind and both McGill and the button called. The flop fell Q♦6♥2♥ and Doering led out with a bet of 6,500. McGill called and the button got out of the way.
The turn brought the 9♥ and Doering checked this time. McGill shoved all in for around 17,000 and Doering "had to call" as he flicked in a chip.
Brian McGill: Q♣J♣
Keith Doering: A♣A♦
Doering was ahead with his pocket aces and the 5♠ bricked out on the river to send McGill to the registration desk for another entry on Day 1a.
