Macdonald Runs Down Hall
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Tom MacDonald opened from late position to 3,000 and action folded around to Zachary Hall in the big blind who three-bet to 12,500. MacDonald four-bet to 27,000 and Hall five-bet jammed for around 170,000, covering MacDonald's remaining 105,000 stack.
MacDonald snap called and showed pocket aces. Hall showed his kings and the players went to the board.
Tom MacDonald: A♥A♦
Zachary Hall: K♠K♣
The rainbow J♠J♥3♣ didn't give Hall much to work with, and there was no change on the 8♠ turn and 5♥ river. MacDonald held to secure his double up, leaving Hall to take a tumble.
