Mcguire Strikes First
Blinds: 500/1,000/1,000
Tom Mcguire opened to 2,500 on the button and Andrew White defended his big bind.
White check-called a 2,000 bet from Mcguire on the J♣5♥2♠ flop and a 10,000 bet from Mcguire on the 6♥ turn; however White went deep into the tank after checking and facing a shove from Mcguire on the J♠ river.
Several minutes went by with White clearly struggling with his decision, but he eventually tossed his hand into the muck to leave himself with 30,000 and two bullets behind.
