An Elaborate Ruse
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Fresh off a final table appearance in the 2017 World Series of Poker Tag Team event and a summer internship working under structure guru Allen Kessler, top local rounder DJ MacKinnon is back home and firing away in this $200 reentry event.
In fact, MacKinnon just ran into a bizarre situation moments ago and managed to chip up a bit coming out of it.
The hand played pretty standard until the river. There was an early position min-raise and MacKinnon called from the small blind. The big blind came along and they checked to the raiser on a 
flop.
The aggressor bet 600 again, and only Mackinnon called. Both checked the 
turn, but after MacKinnon checked the 
river, the initial raiser bet 1,300.
MacKinnon was thinking about it when the raiser said he had it and flashed his cards. He then claimed a straight. MacKinnon started laughing when his opponent then offered to show one. The dealer told him explicitly not to reveal his hand, but he showed the 
regardless. Then he said he had a set.
The floor stepped in and issued a warning before MacKinnon made a crying call with two sevens. It turned out he had the best hand with the raiser finally admitting his ruse showing the 
as well.
