Another Mackoff Double; Messina and Reard Chop

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Jonas Mackoff
Jonas Mackoff

Benjamin Pollak raised to 475,000, and Jonas Mackoff three-bet to 1,350,000 from one seat over. Pollak asked for the stack size of Mackoff and moved all in, and the Canadian quickly called.

Jonas Mackoff: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Benjamin Pollak: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, and Mackoff doubled for 5,590,000.

One hand later, Valentin Messina opened to 475,000, and Michael Sklenicka called on the button. Alexandre Reard moved all in, and Messina re-shoved to force a fold from Sklenicka.

Alexandre Reard: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Valentin Messina: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

For the showdown, Messina walked over to the other side of the table and stood next to his fellow countryman. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, and they chopped it up.

Messina lost one million without showdown against Pollak right after, and Mackoff profited the most from those last few hands.
