Mackey Beats Nelson

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

James Mackey opened up the pot with a raise and was promptly three-bet to 200,000 by John Nelson. Mackey called and the {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop would see Nelson bet 180,000. Mackey called and the {k-Spades} turn would see both players check, just as they did on the {3-Diamonds} river.

At showdown, Mackey's {a-Clubs}{8-Spades} was strong enough to beat the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} that Nelson held, with Mackey raking in the pot.
