MacDonnell Calls His Chop
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Marc MacDonnell defended his big blind from a raise to 75,000 by Maria Ho in the cutoff. He check-shipped for 355,000 after she bet 50,000 on a 
flop. Ho snap-called since she had 
for the straight.
"It's a chop," MacDonnell said calmly, throwing 
in the middle.
The 
turn gave him some more outs but he still insisted it was a chop. He was right: the 
hit the river.
