McIe Jams on Cho in the Dark
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Shumsky moved in for his last 9,500 in early position and Steve Cho called on the button. Anthony McIe then reraised to 43,000 in the small blind, and Cho called.
McIe moved all in before the dealer turned over the K♣2♠5♠ flop. Cho had around 70,000 behind and tanked for a few minutes before another tablemate called the clock. His countdown had nearly reached zero when he finally stuck in his last chips.
Michael Shumsky: 4♦4♠
Steve Cho: J♠J♦
Anthony McIe: A♣K♦
McIe had flopped top pair to take the lead over both opponents, and he remained ahead on the 6♥ turn and Q♥ river to earn the double knockout.
