MacPhee Goes With It

Kevin MacPhee
Kevin MacPhee
An unknown player raised in early position, and Kevin MacPhee came along with a call from the button.

The flop rolled out {3-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}, and the raiser continued out with a bet of 650. MacPhee grabbed an oversized yellow chip and announced, "Sixteen," as he flicked it into the pot. His opponent didn't waste much time announcing an all in re-raise, and MacPhee sunk in his chair a bit. He shuffled his two cards in between his hands for a moment before shrugging and saying, "All right, I call." With MacPhee's final 16,300 chips committed to the pot, the cards were shown up:

Raiser: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
MacPhee: {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

MacPhee had no pair, but he was working with the big double draw for his tournament life. The turn {3-Diamonds} was an airball, leaving him one card from elimination.

But he's not going anywhere just yet. The {7-Hearts} landed on fifth street, and MacPhee's flush earns him the timely double up. He's back to about 34,000 now, the first time we've seen him above his starting stack today.
