Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Zach McNees
Zach McNees

Action folded to Zach McNees in the small blind and he elected to move all in for his 470,000 stack. Tim Macht thought for a minute but ultimately he called and the two tabled their hands with McNees at risk.

Zach McNees: {k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Tim Macht: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The flop fell {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Macht extended his lead with top two. A {q-Hearts} landed on the turn, giving Macht a boat as McNees was now drawing dead to the {7-Diamonds} river card. Macht took down the pot, sending McNees out of the tournament.
