Old McDonald Had Two Pair

From middle position, Jesse Hale opened with a raise to 4,000. He got action in one place, from small blind John McDonald.

Heads up, the flop showed {J-Diamonds}

. McDonald grabbed the lead, betting out 2,000, which Hale quickly called.

Fourth street was the {4-Clubs}

. McDonald bet 5,000 this time, and Hale called just as quickly this time.

The river card was the {A-Diamonds}

. McDonald grabbed another 5,000 chips and flipped them forward, and Hale once again insta-called. McDonald tabled {A-Hearts}

, and Hale disgustedly turned over his own {A-Spades}

. McDonald picks up another pot, and he has worked his way steadily up the board today. He's hovering right around the 180,000-chip mark right now.
