Marc MacDonnell

Marc MacDonnell raised to 300,000 in the cutoff with {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Kevin Hobbs called from the big blind with {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

MacDonnell shoved all in for 3,215,000 and Hobbs quickly called.

MacDonnell was at risk of being eliminated and his flush draw was no good. The turn brought the {6-Spades} and the river landed the {10-Diamonds}. MacDonnell became the 11th-place finisher and Hobbs racked up the chips.
