Double for McGonigle
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
This hand was picked up on the flop of 6♠9♥8♠ with approximately 12,000 in the middle. Thomas Morris clashed with Michael McGonigle as a series of raises led to McGonigle going all-in for approximately 25,000 and Morris making the call to put McGonigle at risk.
Michael McGonigle: K♠K♣
Thomas Morris: 9♦7♦
McGonigle was at risk with the best hand, but Morris was not far behind with his top pair and open-ended straight draw.
The 8♣ turn was a good card for McGonigle as it wiped out any two-pair outs Morris could hit, but he still needed to fade plenty of outs with one card to go.
The turn ended up being a relevant card when the 7♣ hit the turn as McGonigle held with a better two-pair to score the double.
