Trickett Smashes Timex
Jonathan Little opened for 2,000 from early position and received a call from Mike "Timex" McDonald in the small blind. Sam Trickett, who finished as runner-up in the $1 million Big One for One Drop this summer, then three-bet to 6,300 from the big blind, Little folded, and McDonald moved all in for 32,000. Trickett didn't seem excited but made the call nonetheless.

McDonald:   |
Trickett:   |
McDonald got it in good, but the 
flop paired Trickett's ace and gave him a big lead. Neither the 
turn nor 
provided McDonald with an eight, and he was eliminated from the tournament.
"Good luck in the €50,000 Majestic High Roller tomorrow," Justin Bonomo wished McDonald from across the table.
