Mackey Picks Up on the Turn

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

James Mackey opened to 10,000 on the button and Tay Nguyen called from the big blind. The flop came out {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Nguyen check-called a 10,000 continuation and on they went to the turn.

It was a {k-Diamonds} and again Nguyen check-called Mackey's bet, which was 21,000 this time. The {7-Diamonds} came on the river and both players elected to check.

James Mackey: {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Tay Nguyen: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Though Nguyen had been ahead pre- and post-flop, it was Mackey who took the lead on the turn and he scooped the pot.
