Small Double for McKim

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
David McKim
David McKim

George Fugate raised to 1,000 before Matthew Damos tossed out a three-bet to 5,000. David McKim then moved his last 6,100 into the middle, with Fugate folding and Damos making the call.

David McKim: Q9 All in
Matthew Damos: KK

McKim saw the bad news as Damos turned over pocket kings, but the 1068 flop provided some additional outs. McKim picked up more options by making a pair on the 9 turn, while the J river completed his straight draw to win the pot.

James Morrisey was all in from the cutoff on the 2237 turn, at risk against Joel Cocanougher across the table.

James Morrisey: AA All in
Joel Cocanougher: KQ

Morrisey's aces were looking to dodge a diamond, and the J river was safe to secure the double-up through Cocanougher.

"Good bet," said Stanley. "I almost folded."
