McInally Leaves Kane on Fumes
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gerald McInally raised to 7,000 in early position and Neville Betty called in the hijack, as did button Christian Cernaianu. Michael Kane then moved all in from the big blind, McInally shoved for his last 62,000, and both Betty and Cernaianu gave the decision some thought before folding.
Gerald McInally: A♦K♠ 
Michael Kane: A♥Q♣
Both players hit two pair on the A♠10♣10♥ flop, but McInally's king-kicker continued to play through the 5♠ turn and 6♠ river as he doubled up.
"Unlucky," he consoled Kane, who was left extremely short-stacked after paying off the double up.
