McDonald Grabs a Double Up

Harrison Gimbel had the button and all six players saw a flop.

The flop was {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Mike McDonald fired out 42,000 into the middle. Greg Hobson raised right behind him to 91,000. Action folded back to McDonald who moved all in. Hobson called and showed {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for top pair but was behind McDonald's {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for top two pair.

The board completed with the {2-Spades} and the {4-Spades}, allowing McDonald's flopped two pair to hold.
