A player from under-the-gun made it 500 to go preflop and was called by Alex Kravchenko, Dario Minieri, and Olivier Busquet before Mike McDonald in the big blind made it 2,500. The player under the gun was the only player to call.

The flop came {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

.

McDonald bet 4,500. His opponent moved all in, and after some thought, McDonald made the call, putting his tournament life at risk.

McDonald: {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{q-Spades}

Opponent:

{a-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

The turn brought the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and the river the {j-Hearts}

{j-Hearts}

, giving McDonald the double up. He now sits with about 90,000.
