MacPhee Goes With It
The flop rolled out , 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:
MacPhee:
MacPhee had no pair, but he was working with the big double draw for his tournament life. The turn was an airball, leaving him one card from elimination.
But he's not going anywhere just yet. The 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.
