Huge Double for McDowell; McCabe Exits
After some back and forth, Ben McCabe made it 40,100 to go but was then shoved on by Sam McDowell for 127,500.
McCabe then went deep into the tank to consider his options, but after a while tossed in a chip for a call and the hands were tabled with McDowell at risk.
Sam McDowell: A♠A♣
Ben McCabe: A♦K♠
McDowell was in great shape to double up with his aces but still had a good sweat when the flop came out 3♦K♦10♥ to give McCabe a pair of kings and a backdoor diamond draw.
Fortunately for him, the board ran out 10♦6♠ to secure his victory and awarded him the huge pot for the double-up.
McCabe was left with around 14,00 after that exchange and got it all in the very next hand with ace-four against his opponent's pocket kings and was eliminated after failing to improve.
