Three players were in a recent pot at Michael "Timex" McDonald's table. With the board showing , the big blind checked. A player in middle position made it 1,200 to go, a bet which McDonald called. The big blind then check-raised up to 4,500, folding the middle position player. McDonald again called.
Both players checked when the river fell . The big blind showed for top pair, enough to take down the pot. McDonald slipped back to 10,000 after the hand was over.
