Montreal Nationals vs. San Francisco Rush
Day: 1

McDonald Takes One For Montreal, Rush Lead 2-1

Mike McDonald just won match #3 by beating Faraz Jaka and making the series 2-1 in favor of the San Francisco Rush.

McDonald got all in with pocket sevens against the ace-queen of Jaka and flopped a set, leaving Jaka with only two big blinds.

Jaka doubled up on the next hand, when he went runner-runner to a diamond flush to come from behind. Shortly after that it was McDonald who came from behind with runner-runner diamonds to take the match.
