Mackey Doubles Up

James Mackey just doubled up to 90,000.

We caught up with the action with the hand already over. Mackey had the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} in front of him and was all in for a bit over 40,000. Mackey's opponent had already mucked on a board reading {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Mackey won the $5,000 No Limit Hold'em event back in 2007 when he was just 21 years old, becoming the third youngest player to ever win a WSOP bracelet. We will keep an eye on him as he looks to add to his already-impressive poker resume.
