McKay Leaves Zhang on Fumes
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action folded to Jamey McKay, who made it 75,000 from the button. Lifu Zhang, in the big blind, three-bet all in, and he had McKay covered. McKay snap-called for his tournament life.
Jamey McKay: 7♠7♦
Lifu Zhang: A♥10♠
McKay was ahead, but on the 5♦K♠Q♣ flop, Zhang picked up some straight outs to go with his overcards. The K♦ turn also gave McKay some additional outs to dodge. The 8♥ turn wasn't one of them, however, and McKay was pushed the pot for a double-up while Zhang was left with less than seven big blinds.
