Vince Wan Triples Up

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Vince Wan moved all in from the big blind, Dale Townsend called, and Michael McDonald called from the button. Both Townsend and McDonald checked down the {10-Diamonds} turn and the {8-Diamonds} river.

Wan turned up {J-Spades}{10-Hearts} for two pair, while Townsend showed {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the busted nut flush draw. McDonald also held a flush draw with {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

After the hand, Wan was up to a much healthier 140,000 in chips.

Michael "Timex" McDonald Doubles Through Mark Saber

Mark Saber raised to 22,000, Michael "Timex" McDonald moved all in and Saber made the call.

Saber {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
McDonald {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The flop was {K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}, giving the lead to McDonald with a pair of kings. The turn was the {4-Hearts}, the river was the {K-Spades} and McDonald took it down with trips. Saber's stack was decimated on the hand, leaving him with only 72,000 while McDonald seized the chiplead with over 300,000.

"Run good, monkey!" teased McDonald's friend Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke who watched the hand play out from an adjacent table.
