McCracken Turns the Tide
Level 25
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
In the first hand of heads-up play, Eddie Northcraft opened to 300,000 and was then raised to 625,000 by William McCracken, which he called to see the flop of Q♠2♦K♦.
McCracken led out for 500,000 and Northcraft made the call to see the 10♣ on the turn, which both players checked.
On the river 2♥, McCracken moved all in for 3,275,000 and Northcrft went deep into the tank. After a solid minute, he made the call to put McCracken at risk but was shown A♦2♠ for trip deuces on the river.
"Ughhh..." Northcraft sighed as he mucked his hand and set out the necessary chips to pay off McCracken in the big double-up to give him a 2-1 lead.
