Popov Eliminates McDonald

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Mike McDonald opened to 3,200 and saw Thomas Popov repop it to about 10,000 on his left. McDonald stared Popov down and then told the dealer he was all in, which was a wager of around 50,000. Popov was very eager to call and turned over {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. He was way ahead of McDonald's {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, and the tournament legend found himself dead on the turn as the board rolled out {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}.
