Some players see the last five hands of the day as a chance to sit back and make sure they book their seat into Day 2. For others, like Mike "Timex" McDonald, it's an opportunity to "gamble or bust"!

After McDonald's opening raise was re-raised, he decided to push his last chips into the middle with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

and found himself up against an opponent's {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

.

The board fell {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

{4-?}

, giving McDonald a pair of aces and the double up to 27,000, ensuring that he will see Day 2 action.
