Mackey Stands His Ground

In early position, Kyle Bowker opened with a raise to 500, and action folded to Nick Mitchell on the button. He flicked in T1,000 chips, but we couldn't tell whether it was a reraise or a call. It didn't matter. In the small blind, James Mackey reraised to 1,725, and now only Bokwer called to see a flop.

It came {5-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {J-Spades}, and Mackey continued out with a bet of 2,025. Bowker called, and his float earned him a check on the {4-Diamonds} turn. Bowker took his cue to bet 3,525, and Mackey didn't waste much time calling. He checked again on the {Q-Clubs} river, and this time Bowker checked it back.

Mackey tabled {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} for top two, and it was good. Dragging that pot moves him up to about 33,000, while Bowker is back to 20,025.
