MacPhee didn't hesitate to get the rest of his money in and put himself at risk early.

, which put MacPhee behind in the hand, but it did bring in a club to give him a flush draw. The river completed that draw when the 
fell and MacPhee made his flush. His opponent's two pair went down in flames. MacPhee was all in for 3,475 and has moved to just about 8,000.
