Mcmillan Doubles Late Into Day 1
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Kenneth McMillan started the action by raising to 75,000 with 15,000 behind. Shaul Peters raised to 250,000 and Mcmillan called for his remaining chips.
Kenneth McMillan: Q♥10♥10♣7♣
Shaul Peters: A♠A♥6♦3♣
Peter's aces held the lead going to the flop, but McMillan hit a two-outer as the dealer slid the flop of Q♠10♠8♥ with a ten right in the window. Peters needed an ace to eliminate Mcmillan.
The turn brought the 9♠ which was no help for Peters. With Mcmillan at risk of his tournament life late into Day 1 needing to dodge an ace.
A river card came as the 2♥ was great news for Mcmillan as he doubled through one of the big stacks at the table.
