McDonald Doubles in Big Hand
Level 7
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We caught the action on the flop, but Mike McDonald was kind enough to fill us in on the pre flop details after the hand was finished.
McDonald opened the button to 9,000 and big blind Liberto three bet to 32,000. McDonald thought the bracelet winner had made it it 27,000, and clicked it back to 55,000. Liberto called.
The flop came 
and Liberto fired 39,000. McDonald slid 80,000 forward and the action was back on Liberto. Liberto tanked for a bit and announced all in. McDonald snap called and Liberto shook his head as he knew he was in trouble.
Mike McDonald: 
Justin Liberto: 
The 
on the turn and 
on the river didn't help Liberto, and he had to forfeit 183,000 of his stack.
