Maceiras Gives Back

Juan Maceiras has been in control of his table for much of the evening, and his chip stack has benefited from his environment. We joined the action at his table to see that the big blind had put out a raise to 7,500 after Maceiras had apparently limped in from the button. We arrived just in time to see the Spaniard put in a reraise to 25,000. This move prompted the big blind to go deep into the tank, sitting near-motionless for several minutes. Finally, someone at the table spoke up with a quick, "Time," and the floor person made his way over. As he counted down through five... four... three... the big blind splashed the calling chips into the pot, leaving himself just 4,000 funny money to play with.

The flop brought {8-Diamonds}

. The big blind didn't seem to like it, but he did indeed move all in with those 4,000 chips; Maceiras quickly called.

Showdown:
Maceiras: {6-Spades}

Opponent:

The turn and river were the {K-Spades}

and

respectively, safe for the all-in player. With that, Maceiras shipped a courtesy double up over to his opponent, slipping back just a bit. Still, he's in decent shape with his stack of 71,000.
