Jozef Berec limped in from mid-position and Michael "Timex" McDonald raised from the button. The big blind called, as did Berec and the three players took a flop of {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. The action checks around and the free turn card is the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

. This time the player in the big blind leads out with a 500 chip bet. Berec folds and McDonald announces a raise. The big blind makes the call and the two players see a river of {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

. McDonald is only left with 125 chips at this point, so he pushes them in and his opponent makes a crying call.

McDonald flips over {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

for a pair of jacks which is good enough to take down the pot and receive a much needed double up.
