Timex On A Tear

John Juanda raised it to 1,650 preflop and got calls from Mike "Timex" McDonald in the cutoff, a player in middle position, and Amnon Filippi in the small blind.

The flop came down {5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades} Filippi checked and Juanda bet 6,000. Timex however re-raised pot and put out enough to have both Filippi and Juanda all in. Filippi first tanked for about five minutes before he folded and then Juanda did the same and folded as well. Timex scooped the nice pot and just a few hands later knocked out Juanda and another short stack at the table.

Timex has 114,000 and is also sporting a nice new 2011 World Series of Poker bracelet from his friend Jason Somerville. The two had a bracelet bet (with an undisclosed monetary bet on the side) that if one shipped a bracelet, the other one had to wear the bracelet for the rest of the World Series everywhere he went, explaining to every table he sat at why he had to wear it and that it was in fact not his own. Who knows though, the way Timex is tearing it up, he and Somerville might be switching back in a few days time.
