Mcgowan Boosts his Monster Stack

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
David Mcgowan

Jon Vallinas limped in the small blind and David Mcgowan raised to 600,000. Vallinas called and both players saw a flop.

Vallinas checked the 55J flop and Mcgowan continued with a 300,000 bet. Vallinas once again called.

Cranking up the heat, Mcgowan added 1,200,000 in the pot after another check on the 4 turn. Vallinas mulled over the situation for a few seconds but ultimately called.

After another check on the river 3, Mcgowan put maximum pressure by going all-in. Vallinas, visibly frustrated, took some time to consider his options. With only 2,780,000 behind, Vallinas couldn't call an effective all-in and folded, conceding the huge pot to Mcgowan.
