Don't Mess with the Big Stack

James Mackey got to stacking quite a few more chips when he and an opponent got all the chips in the middle preflop. Obviously Mackey's tournament life wasn't at risk. His opponent however had committed his remaining 220,000 with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Mackey showed {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

The board brought no help to the at risk player. It came down {4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Mackey is the monster chipleader now with 850,000.
