MacKinnon Takes a Hit
An early positioned player opened to 725 and DJ MacKinnon three-bet the action to 1,500 from the cutoff. Action folded back to the original opener and he made it 3,300 to go. MacKinnon called.
The two saw a flop of 
and action was checked to MacKinnon. He fired out 4,300 and his opponent called. Both players checked the 
on the turn and that allowed the 
to complete the board. Another check to MacKinnon prompted him to announce an all in bet, which was actually a bet for his opponent's stack of 24,825. MacKinnon's opponent went into the tank.
"I know you know what I have," he said to a motionless MacKinnon. Another moment passed. "This is tough. I swear I never take this long."
Eventually he slid his chips forward, signifying a call. MacKinnon rolled over 
for ace-high and his opponent triumphantly showed 
for a winning pair of queens. MacKinnon shipped chips across the table and is now left with about 10,000.
