McEwen Hits the Rail
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Preston McEwen in the hijack and Brandon Mayo in the small blind.
With the board reading 6♠Q♦9♠Q♠, Mayo checked and McEwen bet 18,000. Mayo then reraised all in to put McEwen at risk, who had about 50,000 behind. McEwen thought for a moment and eventually made the call only to see the bad news.
Preston McEwen: A♦9♥ 
Brandon Mayo: 7♠5♠
McEwen couldn't find any help on the A♥ river and he was sent to the rail on the soft bubble.
